I am trying to do the Replica Sets tutorial for mongodb. I am using ubuntu on 64 bit and installed using sudo apt-get install mongodb-10gen.

Tutorial is at http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Replica+Sets+-+Basics

I stop the service using 

/etc/init.d/mongodb stop

I then try:

/etc/init.d/mongodb start --rest --replSet myset

When I go to http://localhost:28017/_replSet I get this message.

REST is not enabled. use –rest to turn on. check that port 28017 is
secured for the network too.

So…how do I resolve? How do I open a port on ubuntu is that is the problem? Did I do things correct?

Thanks

    You need to edit your /etc/mongodb.conf file , setting rest = true and replSet = myset, and restart mongo.

    Init.d script don’t accept parameters. Or: /etc/init.d/mongodb is not the same as /usr/bin/mongod – The parameters you’re passing are not making it to the mongo executable.
