mongodb how to change default port

Question

For my project I need to use mongodb on port 80. In fact I can\'t use the default mongodb port (27017). I must use port 80.

If I edit the config file:

Answer 1

Check if port is already open by another application or service:

on Windows, open cmd and type: netstat -a

on Linux, type: netstat -lptn

Look for open port 80, like TCP 0.0.0.0:80

If you can't find it, open mongodb.conf and change the net section:

net:
   bindIp: 127.0.0.1
   port: 80

I hope this help you
