mongodb how to change default port

Tags:

mongodb

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:

sudo nano /etc/mongodb.conf

and I change the port to 80 then I restart mongodb service, I get this message when I try to connect to mongodb

$ mongo --port 80

MongoDB shell version: 2.4.9
connecting to: 127.0.0.1:80/test
Fri Feb  6 14:16:42.705 Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:80 at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:147
exception: connect failed

If I change the port again to 27017, all work fine.

Can someone help me?

What is the default port of MongoDB?

MongoDB uses TCP as its transport layer protocol. The predefined default port for connection is 27017.

How do I run a specific port in MongoDB?

Connect and login with username and password to a particular database at a specific port. To connect to a MongoDB Server using username and password, you have to use 'username@hostname/dbname'.

How do I know if port 27017 is open?

Open the Command Line of the Windows operation system, and type the command netstat –ano |findstr “27017” as shown below: Find the process whose status is LISTENING, and the 2700 is the PID of the process.

Does MongoDB use TCP?

The MongoDB Wire Protocol is a simple socket-based, request-response style protocol. Clients communicate with the database server through a regular TCP/IP socket.

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
