Here is my mongod.cfg file:
mongod.cfg
bind_ip = 127.0.0.1 dbpath = C:\\mongodb\\data\\db logpath = C:\\mongodb\\log\\mongo-server.log verbose=v
What solved my issue was creating a file startmongo.conf that sets the bind_ip to 127.0.0.1 . After that, I just created a *.bat to start the mongo using something like:
mongod --config c:\mongodb\bin\startmongo.conf
