mongo db sslhandshakefailed

Question

I'm having problems setting up a local mongo db.

I've installed it with apt-get and started it with

$ service mongod start

My mongod.log file then reads:

But when I try to access 127.0.0.1:27017 in a browser I'm just getting

"This site can’t be reached. The connection was reset."

And now my mongod.log file has the following lines appended to it:

Do I need to run some additional program to host it as a web server? Or is it something else I'm missing here? It's weird that it's complaining about SSL since it's just runnig on localhost with default settings.
