Am new to Mongo DB trying to find the conf file to set up default sever to connect when opening the shell.
Am using:
Windows 10 , shellplus-4.2.5 and connecting to Cloud mongo DB with below command
mongo "mongodb+srv://{SERVER}/test" --username admin
I can not see any config file available. How to set default or Configuration that need to be used
db.adminCommand('getCmdLineOpts');
{ "argv" : [ ], "parsed" : { }, "ok" : 1 }
When you are using MongoDB Atlas, you do not need to set up a server. Atlas is the server.
No configuration is needed to connect to Atlas beyond the correct URI, as described in the documentation.
In case you are using MongoDB Atlas, then you Atlas platform does not the access to the configuration file. In Atlas their is default configuration available which is available on all clusters and users cannot make any changes to the configuration file.
However, in case you are using our own hosted MongoDB deployment then you can access the default MongoDB configuration file on the following path:
On Linux, a default /etc/mongod.conf configuration file is included when using a package manager to install MongoDB.
On Windows, a default /bin/mongod.cfg configuration file is included during the installation.
On macOS, a default /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf configuration file is included when installing from MongoDB’s official Homebrew tap.
For more information please refer the documentation : https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/configuration-options/index.html
and it is not mandatory to use the default mongod.conf file on the above mentioned path. You can make your custom configuration file and can run you own hosted deployment with the following command:
mongod -f mongod1.conf
Please ping me in case you need more information
We installed MongoDB on windows(development) version 3.4, and enabled authentication, after running the command mongod --auth, the authentication was successfully implemented.
Now on the production server that is Ubuntu 16, with MongoDb version 4.0, we made changes to the mongod.conf file as seen below and then restated the mongod service with command sudo service mongod start, but now we are not able to connect to our MongoDB Ubuntu server.
security:
authorization: "enabled"
Where did we go wrong in implementing authentication for MongoDB on Ubuntu server.
security:
authorization: "enabled"
2 possible issues here : reading the doc, i'm not sure you need to quote the enabled word.
Moreover, yaml format need to increment sub part of conf, so your conf file have to look like :
security:
authorization: enabled
But cannot really test, since i don't have any running local instance
mongoDB version 2.6 was an option file mongod.conf
Allow "Auth" Or "NoAuth"
How to do it now mongoDB version 3.2?
According to the Mongo docs here -
https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/configuration-options/#security.authorization - one can enable authorization (which is DISABLED by default) by doing the following:
Edit the mongo settings file /etc/mongod.conf
Add the line:
security.authorization : enabled
Restart the service
Regards,
I'm running a 3 server MongoDB replica set. I recently upgraded from 2.4 to 2.6.
On 2.4 I was able to reach the HTTP Console on all three servers, regardless of whether they were Primary or Secondary. Now with 2.6 there is a different config setting needed to enable the console.
# Disable the HTTP interface (Defaults to localhost:28017).
#nohttpinterface = true
nohttpinterface = false
If I create a completely fresh, standalone instance with 2.6, it works. However on the replica set, it does not. MongoDB is running on 27017 and I have confirmed nothing is running on 28017, so that rules out firewall issues.
Are there additional changes required to enable this feature on a replica set?
Adding
httpinterface=true
in /etc/mongod.conf enables it on http://127.0.0.1:28017
I had to add
rest=true
to enable REST interface so that commands in http console are working.
For mongodb v3.0.2 the mongod.conf is a yaml file,
you should add these two lines after net:
http.enabled: true
http.RESTInterfaceEnabled: true
my mongod.conf is
net:
bindIp: 127.0.0.1
http.enabled: true
http.RESTInterfaceEnabled: true
https://docs.mongodb.com/ecosystem/tools/http-interfaces/
HTTP Status Interface
Deprecated since version 3.2: Starting in 3.2, MongoDB deprecates the HTTP interface.
I have just installed MongoDB 2.6 and I am trying to run it as a Windows Service on Windows 8, by following the instructions at http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/.
Here's my directory structure within the C drive:
MongoDB (MongoDB installation)
bin
Project
DB
Log
mongo.conf
mongod.cfg
The contents of mongo.conf is:
storage:
dbPath: "C:\Project\DB"
And the contents of mongod.cfg is:
logpath="C:\Project\Log\mongo.log"
As directed to in the tutorial, from the command line (in administrator mode) I then type:
"C:\MongoDB\bin\mongod.exe" --config "C:\Project\mongod.cfg" --install
However, I get an error message:
SEVERE: Failed global initialization: FileNotOpen Failed to open ""C:\MongoDB\bin\Project\Log\mongo.log""
Please can somebody explain what I'm doing wrong? I've followed the instructions as dictated in the tutorial (except changed some of the directory names).
I'm also very confused as to the difference between mongo.conf and mongod.cfg...
Thanks!
I was having a similar problem with Mongo 2.6.3. I was trying to set the log path to C:\Users\Public\Public Databases\Mongo\log\mongo.log and the service installer kept responding with Failed to open ""C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\bin\Users\Public\Public
Databases\Mongo\log\mongo.log"".
It started working for me when I stopped quoting the log path in the config file. (i.e. I changed logpath="C:\Users\Public\Public Databases\Mongo\log\mongo.log" to logpath=C:\Users\Public\Public Databases\Mongo\log\mongo.log).
There is a known issue installing MongoDB 2.6.0 as a Windows service using the --install command - see SERVER-13515. A fix has been committed for the MongoDB 2.6.1 release.
As a workaround,
I've provided instructions on how to install the service manually on that SERVER issue.
The short version is:
open an Administrator cmd prompt
make directories for your database and log files
create a configuration file
create the service definition, similar to:
sc create MongoDB binPath= "\"C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\bin\mongod.exe\" --service --config=\"C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\mongod.cfg\"" DisplayName= "MongoDB 2.6 Standard" start= "auto"
start the MongoDB service
net start MongoDB
For full instructions please refer to SERVER-13515.
I'm also very confused as to the difference between mongo.conf and mongod.cfg
The MongoDB server doesn't care about the name/extension of the file you specify with --config (as long as the file can be read). Your confusion on the format is because the mongo.conf example uses the new YAML config file format supported by MongoDB 2.6+, while mongod.cfg uses the older format supported by 2.6 as well as earlier versions.
I used the older mongod.cfg format in my workaround example, as technically someone could adapt these instructions to manually create a service definition for MongoDB 2.4 as well.
I got the same problem not only when installing as a Windows service but also when running "mongodb.exe" file. I tried to remove double quote (") characters but the error was still there:
2014-08-16T14:14:49.166Z SEVERE: Failed global initialization: FileNotOpen Failed to open "D:\MongoDB\log\mongo.log"
Please note that I was using config file in new YAML format. I had no problem when using the old format. I tried several ways on the new YAML configuration file and finally I found that it doesn't accept the absolute path. Just change to relative path and it works like a charm!
My folder structure is:
MongoDB\
bin\
data\
log\
Here is my YAML configuration file that works on the build MongoDB 2.6.4 - Windows 64 bit version, installed on my Windows 7 - Professional x64:
systemLog:
timeStampFormat: iso8601-utc
destination: file
path: ..\log\mongo.log
quiet: false
logAppend: true
net:
bindIp: 127.0.0.1
port: 27017
storage:
dbPath: ..\data
directoryPerDB: true
journal:
enabled: true
I tried a lot of things, in the end I had to remove config file and pass dbpath and logpath settings directly. Following command worked for me:-
C:>mongod --dbpath d:\mongodb\data --logpath d:\mongodb\logs\mongo.log --instal
l --serviceName MongoDB --serviceDisplayName MongoDB
There is a JIRA on that topic for the last version of MongoDB and a workaround too. A solution is to install a previous version then install the service ans re-use the last version of the driver.
Hope this helps !
#Stennie 's answer, as well as the manual service installation instructions on the mongoDB site were adequate for me. One thing to note though, is that the quoted items in the instructions need double backslashes (\\) in order to work correctly. Probably obvious to most developers, but I had it slip my mind, and the error response was simply that the service fails to start up. Also, be wary of the spaces after the equals signs.
sc.exe create MongoDB binPath= "\"C:\\Program Files\\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\\bin\\mongod.exe\" --service --config=\"C:\\Program Files\\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\\mongod.cfg\"" DisplayName= "MongoDB 2.6 Standard" start= "auto"
Observing your error log, it's passing two "s instead of one. Omit one(edit your config file content and remove "s) and you should be good.
Sometimes when you have error like : "Failed global initialization: FileNotOpen Failed to open .../mongodb.log", if you have log file you can delete it and try again.
Stop MongoDB from Windows Services and then try again. It worked for me!
My previous logpath=c:\programfiles\......
the alternative is logpath="c:\program files\......"
it works
I think the reason is that the system must visit the log file through c:\program files\......, but there comes error when I write logpath=c:\program files\......because there is a space between program and files. Then I add "", and it works. I hope it helps.
