If I try to run mongodb shell with the mongo command alone, I get:
Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1 shell/mongo.js:84
exception: connect failed
However, if I stipulate localhost’s LAN IP address like this:
mongo 10.10.5.90
…it connects fine.
Any clues??
Do you have a
bind_ipset in your mongodb.conf (or startup script)? edit for clarity Abind_ipsetting limits the IP it will listen on to that IP only.See the IP Address Binding section: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Security+and+Authentication
If not, do you have any firewall rules blocking the localhost access? That would be kind of strange, but I can’t think of another reason why it wouldn’t work while the LAN IP would work.
