Can't connect MongoDB via Shared Private Networking

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…

1. Ping the MongoDB droplet from the app droplet. It works.
2. Ran ‘mongo’ command on the MongoDB droplet. It works.
3. Ran ‘sudo netstat -plunt’ and saw the mongod process listening on the 27017 port.

Any idea what I could try to verify it or what I can do to resolve this?

Cheers, Mickey
