Hi,
I’ve setup a droplet with Shared Private Networking enabled. I’ve provisioned it with Ubuntu 12.10 x64. Also, I’ve installed mongodb using ‘sudo apt-get install mongodb’ command.
I tried using mongoose to connect to the mongodb droplet using the default port. It said failed to connect.
I used the command below:
var mongoose = require(‘mongoose’); mongoose.connect(‘mongodb://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:27017/database’);
Things I’ve tried…
Any idea what I could try to verify it or what I can do to resolve this?
Cheers, Mickey

Hi, I am having the same problem. I have added the rule on IPTables and also set the bind_ip to 0.0.0.0 but always fail to connect.
What else do I need to check to pinpoint the problem?
I also recommend adding an IPTables rule that drops all packets to the MongoDB ports on the eth0 interface: <br><pre>sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -i eth0 --dport 27017 -j DROP</pre>
It solved. The bind_ip is set to 127.0.0.1 by default. Need to change it to 0.0.0.0. Cheers.
Yes. Here’s the list. <br> <br>-P INPUT ACCEPT <br>-P FORWARD ACCEPT <br>-P OUTPUT ACCEPT <br> <br>Does it means that it accept all ports?
Have you ever check your iptables list? <br>Use $iptables -S to print all the rules of your firewall.
