How to change 27017 default port for mongodb - mongodb

Currently useing port 27017 for mongodb and working proper but
We want configure new port for security purpose.
Can you help ?
Can you able to connect 2704 port for mongodb using robomongo tools ?
You can see screen here...
Also, we have tried to changes port:2704 at mongo.conf file and after we start mongo service but can't start service.
Welcome your suggestion...

You should check the indentation of your config file and make sure that the file has valid JSON.
The mongodb service won't start if it's invalid JSON in the mongo.conf file.
Though You can share a dummy of your config file for better assessment.

Start Mongodb server in two modes parallely

I have installed mongo db in my local system, i am aware that at any point in time we can start the mongo using mongod service.
in normal mode which will run on port 27017
in rest API mode where we can query to collections and db's which normally runs on mongo port + 1000
i want to start both mode together, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Amit
You should add modify your mongod config file to enable http.
add following config line, see https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/configuration-options/
net:
http:
enabled: true
or add parameter in the command line
mongod --httpinterface
You can start multiple instances of mongod. You just have to make sure that they're using different ports and different dbpaths.
To run two separate instances of mongod
mongod
This will start a mongod instance on port 27017 and use dbpath /data/db
Start another command prompt and type in
mongod --port 27018 --dbpath /data/db2
Just make sure that you have a folder named db2 inside your data folder in your c drive. That's where it stores the data.
Additionally, if you're on Node.js, the MongoDB Node.js driver provides a server method where you can start a mongod instance programatically.
var mongo = require("mongodb");
var server = new mongo.Server('localhost', 27017, { auto_reconnect : true} );
This will create a server in what you are calling the Rest API mode.
And then you can simply start mongod from command prompt specifying some other port and dbpath.
I'm not sure which we can start two instance of mondo or not!. but try this:
Run one of then through service mongod start and second one directly by running binary file (e.g. /usr/bin/mondodb). (also you can run both of them directly from CLI.)
In second mode, you most give appropriate parameter for mondo (e.g. path for config file). If you don't know how to give/pass parameters to mondo's binary file, see man mongodb or go and read /etc/init.d/mongod (in Debian based distributions), it give you useful information)
Unfortunately I don't have an installed mongoDB on my machine, so I can't give you exact commands.

How to get MONGO_URL from command line Meteor Up deployment?

I am currently deploying to Digital Ocean using Meteor Up. If I don't specify a MONGO_URL in the mup.json, can I get the value from the command line while the website is running, i.e. I don't want to shutdown the site?
If I go to the app directory and run meteor mongo --url, I get the following error:
mongo: Meteor isn't running a local MongoDB server.
This command only works while Meteor is running your application
locally. Start your application first. (This error will also occur if
you asked Meteor to use a different MongoDB server with $MONGO_URL when
you ran your application.)
If you're trying to connect to the database of an app you deployed
with 'meteor deploy', specify your site's name with this command.
Even if I run the app from the app directory, it will only give the localhost MONGO_URL. I need the MONGO_URL for the deployed app.
I have also taken a look at a similar question as suggested by some of the answers. I disagree that it is "impossible" to get the MONGO_URL without some other program running on the server. It's not as if we are defying the laws of physics here, folks. Fundamentally, there should be a way to access it. Just because no one has yet figured it out doesn't mean it is impossible.
meteor mongo --url should return the URL.
Try opening another shell in the app directory and running that command.
Meteor Up packages your app in production mode with meteor build so that it runs via node rather than the meteor command line interface. Among other things, this means meteor foo won't work on the remote server (at least not by default). So what you're really looking for is a way to access mongo itself remotely.
I recently set up mongo on an AWS EC2 instance and listed some lessons learned here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/28846703/2669596. Some details of how you do it are going to be different on Digital Ocean, but these are the main things you have to take care of once mongo itself is installed:
Public IP/DNS Address: This is probably fine already since you can deploy to the server.
Port Security Rules: You need to make sure port 27017 is open for TCP access, at least from your IP address. MongoDB also has an http interface you can set up; if you want to use that you'll need to open 28017 as well.
/etc/mongod.conf (file location may differ depending on Linux flavor):
Uncomment port=27017 to make sure you have the default port (I don't think this is actually necessary, but it made me feel better and it's good to know where to change the default port...).
Comment out bind_ip=127.0.0.1 in order to listen to external interfaces (e.g. remote connections).
Uncomment httpinterface=true if you want to use the http interface.
You may have to restart the mongod host via sudo service mongod restart. That's a problem if you can't have downtime, but I don't know of a way around that if you change the config file.
Create User: You need to create an admin and/or user to access the database remotely.
Once you've done all of that, you should be able to access the database from your local machine (assuming you have the mongo client installed locally) by running
mongo server.url.com:27017/mup-app-name -u username -p
where server.url.com is the URL or IP address of your remote server, mup-app-name is the appName parameter from your mup.json file, username is the user you created to access the database, and you'll be prompted for that user's password after you run the command (or you could put it after -p on the same line, depending on the password).
There may also be a way to do this by setting up nginx to reverse-proxy 127.0.0.1:27017 on your remote server, but I've never done it and that's just me speculating.

MongoDB and Deployd

Looking to try out Deployd with MongoDB and an AngularJS front end. On my Mac I can get Node and Mongo to launch, but it requires launching mongod with the --config flag. I created a .conf file and launch it with the flag, each time directing it to the location of the .conf file. Deployd is attempting to launch mongodb but gets the same error I got initially trying to start mongod, which is that it can't read the config file.
I'm new to mongo and am having a rough time getting this to play nice. Am I missing something? I even installed it using Homebrew, which was supposed to go ahead and take care of these config issues, but I'm still not getting where I need to be.
Any clarification at this point would be helpful. I'm guessing that there's some simple thing that I've messed up along the way.
I had a similar problem and finally found out how it works.
if you want to use the mongodb dataset which was created by #deployd (you find it in the data folder) tell mongod the path of the folder and the port you want to listen on.
This is how you can start the mongodb server with the deployd dataset
mongod --dbpath ./data/ --port 12345
Next create a node.js script to start deployd which will listen to your mongodb.
var deployd = require('deployd');
var dpd = deployd({
port: 2403,
env: 'development',
db: {
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 12345,
name: '-deployd'
}
});
dpd.listen();
This script with mongodb will create the exact situation than using the command dpd. However now you can use all other nodejs function.

NitrousIO mongodb always connecting to "test" db

I'm trying to setup mongodb on my nitrousio nodejs box. Following this tutorial.
When I finish executing this command,
mongo --shell --host $MONGODB_DEVELOPMENT_HOST --port $MONGODB_DEVELOPMENT_PORT
-u $MONGODB_DEVELOPMENT_USERNAME -p $MONGODB_DEVELOPMENT_PASSWORD
$MONGODB_DEVELOPMENT_DB
This happens,
Even though my MONGO_DEVELOPMENT_DB environment variable is set to pest, it tries to connect to test. Not only pest, if I try to connect to any of my DB instances, it always tries to connect to test.
Any idea as to what could be going wrong?
I had something similar recently and it turned our that the config file was overriding some of the parameters. Try to look at /usr/local/mongodb/mongod.conf (on OS X, probably similar on linux)
Ok, terminated the box and created a new one, that fixed it. Guess I messed up the env. variables in my first attempt. Works just fine now.
I had the same problem and I've tried with new boxes(minimum memory and storage) but it didn't work out.
After increasing memory and storage on existing box to maximum I could
(Memory: 640MB and Storage: 1500MB)
I was able to start MongoDB server and Mongo shell.
After starting the mongo shell your session will use the test database by default. For mong details, please refer to MongoDB Doc
I'm not sure if this will give you everything you need but at least I can ensure the mongo command interface works on Nitrous for me. Firstly a bit of background.
The helpful support guy at Nitrous told me that Nitrous only expose ports: 1024 - 10,000 open. The default for mongodb is: 27017. This port seems to be hand coded into the mongo command as well.
On Nitrous, I changed my mongodb.config file to use a port within that range, on the 0.0.0.0 address:
~/.parts/etc/mongodb.conf
bind_ip = 0.0.0.0
port = 7017
See:
default mongodb ports
config file format
Apparently the bind to 0.0.0.0 IP address is not necessary due to Nitrous magic, however I haven't tested that. After re-starting mongodb server:
$ parts stop mongodb
$ # ... edit ~/.parts/etc/mongodb.conf
$ parts start mongodb
$ mongo localhost:7017
Anyway that works for the default database. I expect other (valid, reasonable) command line options should be OK. The 'test' db name is the default, so if you never make a connection it mongodb probably won't even look at the DB Name given.
I am experimenting with the MEAN.io stack on Nitrous, so the config will be a quite different to your example. That said, this command works fine:
$ mongo localhost:7017/mean-dev
To open the mean-dev database. Hopefully setting the port will give you what is needed.
One last thing the mongodb control interface for that port is on the nitrous preview URL with port number +1,000 ==> 8017. I have not discovered how to make the REST API work with the admin interface (yet). Even so, the admin screen shows me that things are looking reasonable.
Good luck /w.

MongoDb connection refused

This is my first attempt to consume MongoDB. I've got Mongo running:
ps -ef | grep [m]ongo
mongodb 11023 1 0 Jun24 ? 00:00:03 /usr/lib/mongodb/mongod --config /etc/mongodb.conf
And the error comes as the result of doing
Datastore.save( stuff ); // (pseudo code)
The error:
Jun 27, 2011 3:20:29 PM com.mongodb.DBTCPConnector fetchMaxBsonObjectSize
WARNING: Exception determining maxBSON size using0
java.io.IOException: couldn't connect to [russ-elite-book/127.0.1.1:27017] bc:java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

Note that I'm using 127.0.0.1:27017 for my connection, which works to the Mongo shell. Also, I get the admin page in the browser using http://localhost:28017.
Profuse thanks for any and all ideas!
I ran into the same issue because I upgraded my mongo using brew. To fix this issue. Look for the conf file(which might not be located in the bin directory where you start your mongodb from)
/usr/local/Cellar/mongodb-2.2.whatever/mongod.conf, and comment out the "bind_ip" property.
(I think it slightly bad form to answer one's own question, but in fact, the answer turns out to be none of those suggested. Nevertheless, my profuse thanks to all of them. When answering a question, one needs to be able to assume it's based on correctly installed and working software. I did not have that.)
I installed MongoDB using the Ubuntu Software Center. It worked from the shell and from the browser as noted elsewhere in this question. However, it did not work from Java (nor from Django either).
The problem, despite what it said in the Java stack trace, was simply "connection refused."
The solution is to install it from proper Mongo sources and not to trust the Ubuntu repository.
(Yes, this also frequently happens to other products obtain from there too, like Eclipse, but you know it's such a nice service that you want to trust it.)
If you want to read how I installed what then worked, check out http://www.javahotchocolate.com/tutorials/mongodb.html.
I had the same problem, but my solution was different. I was using "localhost" as the host name and changing it to "127.0.0.1" fixed it.
Most likely the Java driver cannot connect to the address specified.
Make sure that you can connect to that address 127.0.1.1:27017 using the shell and run "db.isMaster()".
Maybe it is an issue of 127.0.1.1 vs 127.0.0.1.
It turns out that it is an issue with the Java MongDB driver.
There are two solutions:
Using version 2.8 or higher of the Java driver.
Edit the configuration files and if it contains the line bind_ip = 127.0.0.1 or bind_ip = localhost, comment it out.
Eating humble pie...
As I showed in my comment to Russ Bateman's own answer, it seemed like an issue with the Ubuntu package at first. The real reason is that the config file that comes with it does define a value for bind_ip...
I ran into the same issue because I installed my mongo using apt-get. Here's how to fix it:
Find your mongod.conf file. In Ubuntu 14.04, it's /etc/mongod.conf
Open mongod.conf file and command the line bindIp = 127.0.0.1
Restart mongod
It appears that this is a security issue or an invalid url. If you used the default configuration, you should be able to access the http://yourmachine:28017. See if you can navigate to the admin page from this url. If you are able to navigate to the admin url, just replace the port number with 27017 in your app. It should work.
It's hard to say without seeing your .conf file contents. One thing I would recommend is running the mongo shell and seeing if you can connect, query, and write from it. This will help isolate server vs. a java client issue. Additionally it may give you a different form of the error which may be a hint.
Are you setting --port in your .conf file?
For me, it was a completely different solution. I am using Spring MVC framework, and all I had to do is to confirm that the configuration XML files are saying the same thing in the /target folder as well as the non-target folders. Once that was adjusted, everything worked. The problem was that everything worked when run from a STS, but when deployed, I had the mentioned error.
