Mongo waiting on 27017 even after reinstall

Question

I have uninstalled and reinstalled mongo (3.0.1), being sure i accepted the network access on windows 8, and yet i still have the same issue of \"waiting on 27017\".

Answer 1

I have a similar problem.

In my case when I ran MongoDb on docker with the following command and expected entering mongo shell to do some query but I got meesage 'waiting for connections on port 27017' and couldn't do anything.

docker run -p 27017:27017 --name mongo-container mongo 

It seems that I was supposed to launch MongoDb on the background with -d option first and then use docker exec to enter the shell

docker run -p 27017:27017 --name mongo-container mongo -d
docker exec -it mongo-container mongo admin

For Mac users, if you have same issue then go open a new terminal window apart from the one already open and waiting for connection, go to /usr/local/bin and type ./mongo

Answer 4

You Keep your first screen(which you are facing issue) open as it is. Now open one more screen and go inside mongodb folder. now execute ./bin/mongod. and you can its connected as below .

2016-11-04T13:44:02.414+0800 I NETWORK  [initandlisten] waiting for connections on port 27017
2016-11-04T13:50:26.990+0800 I NETWORK  [initandlisten] connection accepted from 127.0.0.1:51541 #1 (1 connection now open)

Answer 5

The waiting for connections message in the console output indicates that the mongod.exe process is running successfully.

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/?_ga=1.82566930.525730850.1428016333

Next you need to connect to MongoDB through mongo.exe shell using another command promt.

As soon as you are done with that, the waiting message in first console would change to connection accepted.

Hope that helps :)
