Can't initiate replica set in Ubuntu

Whenever I type: rs.initiate(), I get the following error message:

{
    "info2" : "no configuration explicitly specified -- making one",
    "me" : "VMHOSTNAME:27017",
    "ok" : 0,
    "errmsg" : "No host described in new configuration 1 for replica set rs0 maps to this node",
    "code" : 93
}

I'm running under google-cloud-engine with latest MongoDB.

Any suggestions on how to solve this?

Answer

You could try passing a parameter to the .initiate() command.

Like so:

rs.initiate({_id:"yourReplSetName", members: [{"_id":1, "host":"yourHost:yourPort"}]})

This did the trick for me.
