Well guys, I’m trying to get that MongoDB feature working for hours:
http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Http+Interface
I start mongod with external configuration file on Mac OS X platform. Almost all the settings in the config file is default. I’ve turned of the authentication and make sure http interface is on :
nohttpinterface = false
MongoDB starts successfully and does it’s job. And just to make sure that it listens on port 27017, I do following:
(web)Roy-MacBook:/ roy$ curl localhost:27017
You are trying to access MongoDB on the native driver port. For http diagnostic access, add 1000 to the port number
which is fine. And I try to check the same thing for the port 28017:
(web)Roy-MacBook:/ roy$ curl localhost:28017
curl: (7) couldn't connect to host
Even though with telnet:
(web)Roy-MacBook:/ roy$ telnet localhost 28017
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying fe80::1...
telnet: connect to address fe80::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
I don’t know if I have to tell that I’ve tried with a browser. I don’t run any custom web or any other server that blocks the port 28017. I could only find one bug here:
https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-2917
but it is related with –auth command that I don’t use nor I have any user show out of “db.system.users.find()”.
One strange thing is when I turn on mms-name, mms-token or mms-interval in configuration as shown as their config reference here (www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/File+Based+Configuration), mongod gives following error:
error command line: unknown option mms-name
use --help for help
I though that might be the relative problem.. Any opinion will be appreciated, thanks.
This looks like a bug in the config parser. Take this line OUT of your config file:
nohttpinterface = false
When I added that line it turned the HTTP interface off on my Mac even though it’s set to false.
