Hi there.
I want to connect to mongodb on droplet from another droplet. I have disabled firewall to get it out of equation.
I have set “bindIp” to the private ip of the droplet in mongodb.conf.
Now from another droplet, which also has private networking enabled I do mongo --host PRIVATE-IP
but doen’t connect, I am getting this is return:
connecting to: PRIVATE_IP:27017/test 2017-12-26T04:41:53.102-0500 Error: couldn’t connect to server PRIVATE_IP:27017 (PRIVATE_IP), connection attempt failed at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:148 exception: connect failed
Can anyone please advice what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.

Hi @yazla,
You can edit /etc/mongod.conf configuration file and make bind IP changed as below
# network interfaces
net:
port: 27017
bindIp: 127.0.0.1,mongodb_server_private_ip
Once changes are made restart the mongod service.
service mongod restart
