Add an additional troubleshoot step to course notes for MongoDB & Node.js server. Users who have previously taken the FEM API course, or have previously used MongoDB may already have port 27017 in use, which can result in the same MongoError - no such collection. Detailed steps to stop the container, update the image, and get MongoDB container back to the final state.

While working through this course, I had also encountered the
no such collectionerror when I tried to query MongoDB from the Node server. After trying several things on the terminal/MongoDB side, I added code to the server to print out the available collections and discovered the database I had connected to was from Scott Moss' FEM course for API Design in Node.js.I have added additional course notes describing this issue, as well as a code block describing the steps that can be taken to correct the issue.
