Incompatibility of Node wire version with MongoDB

Version:

v6.14.4

Platform:

Linux 14.04.1-Ubuntu running on SSH shell on GCP[Google Cloud Platform]

Output of uname -a:

Linux lab-rat-frontend 4.4.0-137-generic #163~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 24 17:14:57 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'm trying to run a project that requires MongoDB. So I installed the following version of it:

mongod --version

db version v2.4.9
Sat Oct 27 16:58:32.692 git version: nogitversion

Everytime I run the command

node server.js

I get the following error:

MongoError: Server at localhost:27017 reports wire version 0, but this version of Node.js Driver requires at least 2 (MongoDB2.6).

I don't know which of these is at fault here, but there are some solutions which say that updating the MongoDB version gets it solved. However, the errors keep on getting more and more with this solution.
Is there any other way I could do this by configuring Node?

Sounds to me like a more MongoDB driver issue rather then a node issue.
I suggest you to ask in mongod.

Just to weigh in, the latest mongoDB is v4.x, so you are on a very old version.
