Mongo waiting on 27017 even after reinstall

Question

I have uninstalled and reinstalled mongo (3.0.1), being sure i accepted the network access on windows 8, and yet i still have the same issue of "waiting on 27017".

The commands i sent are the following:

This is pending and will continue to do see endlessly.

Hitting my head against a wall and any help is wonderful.

Thanks

Answer 1

The waiting for connections message in the console output indicates that the mongod.exe process is running successfully.

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/?_ga=1.82566930.525730850.1428016333

Next you need to connect to MongoDB through mongo.exe shell using another command promt.

As soon as you are done with that, the waiting message in first console would change to connection accepted.

Hope that helps :)

Answer 2

For Mac users, if you have same issue then go open a new terminal window apart from the one already open and waiting for connection, go to /usr/local/bin and type ./mongo

Answer 3

Later, to stop MongoDB, press Ctrl + C in the terminal where the mongod instance is running.

Answer 4

I have a similar problem.

In my case when I ran MongoDb on docker with the following command and expected entering mongo shell to do some query but I got meesage 'waiting for connections on port 27017' and couldn't do anything.

docker run -p 27017:27017 --name mongo-container mongo 

It seems that I was supposed to launch MongoDb on the background with -d option first and then use docker exec to enter the shell

docker run -p 27017:27017 --name mongo-container mongo -d
docker exec -it mongo-container mongo admin

Answer 5

If You are windows go to your root folder C:\Program Files\mongodb\Server\4.0\bin...open cmd as a Administration open cmd then type mongo start your mongodb server.

Answer 6

1. open the control panel search for MongoDB file

3. and click ok for all the options that show

Answer 7

It is clearly mentioned in above message that mongoDB is starting.

 2015-04-01T21:33:47.134-0400 I CONTROL  [initandlisten] MongoDB starting : pid=7436 port=27017 dbpath=C:\mongodb\data 64
    -bit host=CookieMunster

If you want to connect to the mongoDB shell, open a new cmd window and write command:

mongo.exe

Answer 8

You Keep your first screen(which you are facing issue) open as it is. Now open one more screen and go inside mongodb folder. now execute ./bin/mongod. and you can its connected as below .

2016-11-04T13:44:02.414+0800 I NETWORK  [initandlisten] waiting for connections on port 27017
2016-11-04T13:50:26.990+0800 I NETWORK  [initandlisten] connection accepted from 127.0.0.1:51541 #1 (1 connection now open)

Answer 9

It seems your mondodb local server is running. You need to install tool like robo 3T and connect to localhost://27017 to connect to local mongodb.
