Unable to connect to mongo on remote server

Question

I have installed mongo on machine1(Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS server) in my local network. I have also opened the port 27017 as mentioned in this guide using f

Answer 1

make sure that mongodb daemon is running, and listening on 0.0.0.0, but not 127.0.0.1 port

for example, for my local mongodb, it has this config:

[vodolaz095@steel ~]$ cat /etc/mongod.conf 
##
### Basic Defaults
##

# Comma separated list of ip addresses to listen on (all local ips by default)
bind_ip = 127.0.0.1

# Specify port number (27017 by default)
#port = 27017

for mongodb server to listen for remote connections, you can change

# Comma separated list of ip addresses to listen on (all local ips by default)
bind_ip = 0.0.0.0
