Mongodb – connecting to mongodb on ec2 instance using the private IP address

amazon ec2awsmongodb

Im trying to connect to my MongoDB that is on my EC2 instance. I am able to connect to using the public dns with this statement:

mongoClient = new
MongoClient("ec2-3-92-197-163.compute-1.amazonaws.com", 27021);

but if I tried to replace the "ec2-3-92…." with the private IP address, as such:

mongoClient = new MongoClient("172.31.90.193", 27021);

It gives me the error:

Is there something I'm missing that is preventing me from connecting to mongo using the private IP address?

I have set up the inbound rules as such:

and this is what my mongod.conf file looks like:

  # mongod.conf

# for documentation of all options, see:
#   http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/configuration-options/

#  bindIp: 172.31.90.193  # Enter 0.0.0.0,:: to bind to all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses or, alternatively, use the net.bindIpAll setting.

Best Answer

Since you are trying to connect to the MongoDB in EC2 instance from your local machine, the connection should be made via the public network (Internet).

If it is a public network you should use either Public IP or Elastic IP for the connection.

You cannot use Private IP to connect to MongoDB running in AWS EC2 via the public network.
