Question

while trying this mongo command in ubuntu I am getting this error.

    ritzysystem@ritzysystem-Satellite-L55-A:~$ mongo
    MongoDB shell version: 2.6.1
             


        

Answer 1

In my case bind_ip was not 127.0.0.1 in /etc/mongodb.conf file so change bind_ip to 127.0.0.1(it may be comma separated values so make sure 127.0.0.1 is one of them) Then restart your system to take effect. Restart only to the those who are facing

$sudo service mongod restart
Failed to restart mongod.service: Unit mongod.service not found.
