Unable to connect to MongoDB
I've just installed MongoDB (standard Ubuntu build, not the latest stable) and for some reason I can't connect:
Mon Feb 6 03:11:22 Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1 shell/mongo.js:79
exception: connect failed
Now my machine isn't 127.x.x.1 it's for some reason x.x.x.2 (But i've changed my config to bind to that address, and also tried to bind to my public IP which provided no avail.
Config:
#mongodb.conf
# Where to store the data.
# Note: if you run mongodb as a non-root user (recommended) you may
# need to create and set permissions for this directory manually,
# e.g., if the parent directory isn't mutable by the mongodb user.
dbpath=/var/lib/mongodb
#where to log
logpath=/var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log
logappend=true
bind_ip = 199.21.114.XX
port = 27017
I've checked the logs and only startup info is displaying in there.
I've also checked that the deamon is running too, and it is - I even tried running it manually with a --fork.
Has anyone come across this before? Or any suggestions?
Thx
UPDATE:
After a restart - here are the logs:

Answer
I solved this problem by commenting out the following line in my /etc/mongod.conf file.
# Listen to local interface only. Comment out to listen on all interfaces.
#bind_ip = 127.0.0.1
You will need to follow this config change with restarting the mongod process.
sudo service mongod restart
