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

There are changes in mongod.conf file in the latest MongoDB v 3.6.5 +

Here is how I fixed this issue on mac os High Sierra v 10.12.3

Note: I assume that you have installed/upgrade MongoDB using homebrew

mongo --version

MongoDB shell version v3.6.5 
git version: a20ecd3e3a174162052ff99913bc2ca9a839d618 
OpenSSL version: OpenSSL 1.0.2o  27 Mar 2018 
allocator: system modules: none build environment:
distarch: x86_64
target_arch: x86_64

1. find mongod.conf file

    sudo find / -name mongod.conf` 
   

   /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf > first result .

2. open mongod.conf file

   sudo vi /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf
   

3. edit in the file for remote access under net: section

    port: 27017  
    bindIpAll: true 
    #bindIp: 127.0.0.1 // comment this out
   

4. restart mongodb

   if you have installed using brew than

   brew services stop mongodb
   
   brew services start mongodb
   

otherwise, kill the process.

   sudo kill -9
