set up Apache2 virtual hosts and now MongoDB connection refused - mongodb

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 on an AWS EC2 instance with Apache2. This morning I upgraded my Apache2 settings to allow multiple virtual servers following these instructions: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts
Just now I tried to access my MongoDB instance, but I cannot do it either through the PHP MongoDB driver or through the shell. I get this error when attempting to connect with a PHP MongoClient():
Failed to connect to: localhost:27017: Connection refused'
and I get this error when trying to run the mongo shell:
2015-06-03T19:23:57.307+0000 W NETWORK Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1:27017, reason: errno:111 Connection refused
2015-06-03T19:23:57.308+0000 E QUERY Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017 (127.0.0.1), connection attempt failed
at connect (src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:179:14)
at (connect):1:6 at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:179
exception: connect failed
Everything was running fine just last night, and I haven't directly modified MongoDB settings. What can I do to fix this? How do Apache2 settings relate to MongoDB? I've been trying to look through the MongoDB docs, but I don't see anything that looks relevant.

You need to setup Security Group for your EC2 instance. And allow Inbound connection for the mongodb port, in your case 27017.

When I went through the logs, I saw a message that there was insufficient room for "journal file." I rebooted my AMI on an EC2 instance with more storage and reinstalled Mongo. That did the trick. I had uploaded a few files to the instance after updating my Apache2 settings, so those few more files must have pushed the instance past what Mongo could tolerate. Too bad the error message wasn't more helpful, but I should have checked the logs sooner. It would also be nice if the logs had a more explicit message.

Connect to mongodb via ssh tunnel failing

I have tried to connect to my mongodb on a server i own via an ssh tunnel via the following apps but nothing will connect:
compass
robomongo
nosqlbooster4mongo
phpstorm inbuilt mongodb java connector
Server and mongo:
Server: ubuntu 18lts
Mongo: latest community version
The Connection URL in all instances is the same (also tried removing the query params) and this url works on the node app:
mongodb://localhost:27017/data-aggregator?retryWrites=true&w=majority
nosqlbooster4mongo's error message is:
But the connection url is 27017 and gets changed to 37903 for some reason
PHPStorm's error message is:
DBMS: Mongo DB Case sensitivity: plain=mixed, delimited=mixed Driver:
MongoDB JDBC Driver (ver. 1.13, JDBC4.2) Effective version: UNKNOWN
(ver. 0.0) Ping: 10 sec, 289 ms (keep-alive query results in error)
Timed out after 10000 ms while waiting to connect. Client view of
cluster state is {type=UNKNOWN, servers=[{address=localhost:42865,
type=UNKNOWN, state=CONNECTING,
exception={com.mongodb.MongoSocketReadException: Exception receiving
message}, caused by {java.net.SocketException: Connection reset}}].
Nothing works but i cannot understand why.
The SSH connection is working as confirmed by nosqlbooster4mongo and phpstorm
But as soon as it then tries to connect to the local mongodb instance it fails. I don't know if this is an issue with the SSH tunnel or the mongo setup. Via a terminal i can connect to mongo no issue, also the node app there can too.
The tunnels are using the same key as i use to connect to the server via terminal without issue which leads me to believe it is mongo but i don't know where to look :/
As the tunnel is established, then this says the server firewalls are not an issue.
I don't know what it is, is there an additional query param for ssh tunnel access?
Solved by #Jack_Woehr on: https://www.mongodb.com/community/forums/t/mongo-5-community-edition-cannot-connect-via-tunnel/151526
The trick was to not use the ssh tunnel from any of the tools listed and just create a the tunnel on the OS.

Nodejs backend mongoose and the database connection string

I have an issue that i'm trying to fix since yesterday.
In fact, i have a a backend that i want to connect to a MongoDB hosted on the cloud, i use Mongoose, i put a connection string mongodb+srv://user:*********#cluster0-****.gcp.mongodb.net/pws. I have whitelisted all ips to connect to the database.
My problem is that when i run npm start, it connect correctly to the database, and when i run a docker-compose (that runs the same commands), i have this error message :
MongoNetworkError: failed to connect to server [127.0.0.1:27017] on first connect [MongoNetworkError: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:27017]
i don't see what can cause this issue.. please help
What I`m suggesting is :
1- Check if MongoDB is installed on your cloud
2- Check if it`s truly running on the port 27017

Linking mongoDB to elasticbeanstalk application

So I have this problem where my node application that is ran by Docker in elasticbeanstalk cant establish a connection with mongoDB instance that is in another elasticbeanstalk environment under the same application(it deployed and ran with Docker aswell).
I have made sure that both of them are in the same VPC and that the mongoDB instance accepts inbound connections from the security group that the node application is under(inbound connections are accepted on port 27017).
Node application uses mongoDBs private IP in the connection string. Should work because they are in the same VPC.
Somehow the node application cant connect to the mongoDB instance and it throws the same error always.
*** DATABASE ERROR: MongoNetworkError: failed to connect to server [private-ip-here:27017] on first connect [MongoNetworkError: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND private-ip-here private-ip-here:27017] ***
Can anyone give me advice what am I doing wrong ?
Most likely reason would be not configuring mongod.config file in etc directory.
There would be something like :
net:
bindIp: 127.0.0.1
Comment the bindIP or replace it with your server's IP Address.

MongoDB refuses connection to Node-RED

I'm trying to follow this tutorial [1], but MongoDB is refusing connections, as error messages says:
"MongoError: failed to connect to server [127.0.0.1:27017] on first connect [MongoError: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:27017]"
Node-RED is running from a docker container, and MongoDB is on the host machine
MongoDB service is running properly, and when I type on browser "localhost:27017", appears "It looks like you are trying to access MongoDB over HTTP on the native driver port" message.
How to make, so, MongoDB accepts connections from NodeRED?

"mongo" command fails to connect

I am trying to install MangoDB. I have already installed the log and configure files. When I run mongo command in mongodb/bin directory, I receive the error messages:
mongo MongoDB shell version: 3.0.4, connecting to: test
W NETWORK Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1:27017, reason: errno:10061 No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017 (127.0.0.1)
This is my mongod.cfg configure file; I don't know if it is correct.
logpath=C:\mongodb\log\mongo.log
dbpath=C:\mongodb\data
rest=true
Can anyone help? Thanks.
There are many more hurdles you can face during installation of mongodb. Installation of Mongodb is not as easy task I am also stuck with these issue for some time.the only option is to install mongodb step by step as described on Mongodb's official website.
Dont miss any step!.
here is the link http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/
