del package-lock.json by running rm package-lock.json after that npm install, then run npm install -g npx and just run the server-client (after adding "start": "node index.js", "dev": "nodemon index.js" to package.json "script" in server and also npm i morgan

I was getting the error MongooseError: The uri parameter to openUri() must be a string, got "undefined". Make sure the first parameter to mongoose.connect() or mongoose.createConnection() is a string. did not connect but now I'm getting this error when I changed the first argument of mongoose.connect to string 'mongodb://localhost:3008/' MongooseServerSelectionError: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:3008 did not connect. did you find a solutionn??

that problem is because the mongoose connect function is trying to find the mongo url in .env file, so, you can create a new .env file or you can set in function the url, but its not recommended.

sorry, i didnt read that you change the url, but i think that parameter its not complete.
