      mongod --dbpath . --logpath mongod.log --fork
mongo port=27018
      Show
      mongod --dbpath . --logpath mongod.log --fork mongo port=27018

      The mongo shell connects to the default port when the connection string is incorrect and it prints a misleading message to the user leading them to believe they have connected correctly.

      • v3.0.14 
        mongo port=27018
MongoDB shell version: 3.0.14
connecting to: port=27018
      • v3.2.10 
        mongo port=27018
MongoDB shell version: 3.2.10
connecting to: port=27018
      • v3.4.0-rc3 
        mongo port=27018
MongoDB shell version v3.4.0-rc3
connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/port=27018

      The latest version is probably the least likely to be confusing but perhaps a failure to connect would be more educational to the user.
