How to set mongod.conf bind_ip with multiple ip address

Question

I am a newbie for setting up the server environment and mongoDB. This may sounds something really simple, however, I really need your help on it.

I am trying to conn

Answer 1

Thanks for @wdberkeley and @anhlc brought up the clue.

I looked at the log file under /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log. It shows the failing reason for the problem.

2015-03-17T16:08:17.274-0400 I CONTROL  [initandlisten] options: { config: "/etc/mongod.conf", net: { bindIp: "127.0.0.1, 192.168.184.155" }, storage: { dbPath: "/var/lib/mongodb" }, systemLog: { destination: "file", logAppend: true, path: "/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log" } }
2015-03-17T16:08:17.332-0400 I NETWORK  [initandlisten] getaddrinfo(" 192.168.184.155") failed: Name or service not known

So the mongo.conf file is sensitive to space, which I happened to add and should have noticed. Also just as @anhlc pointed out, 96.88.169.145 is not a valid IP address for VM. So that one also contribute to the error.

Great thanks for both of your help! Hope this may help if someone happened to run into the same problem.
