MongoDB "Connection refused" error

Question

I wanted to know what is the actual reason behind MongoDB "connection refused " error and How can we prevent this from happening.I am using ubuntu server.

I found that we can solve the problem after it has occured by:

sudo -u mongodb mongod --repair -dbpath /var/lib/mongodb
sudo start mongodb

I would like to know the way how can we stop it from occurring rather than solving it after it has occurred

The scenario is:

Mongodb is running well but after sometime I get this error .What I am doing in that span of time is I am continuously inserting data to that mongodb database in an interval of 1 minute.

I am using yii's yiiMongoDbsuite extension.The actual error thrown is.

EMongoDB failed to open connection: Failed to connect to: xx.xxx.xxx.xx:27017:
Connection refused

I would really appreciate if somebody helps me in this case.Thanks.
