MongoDB Configuration – How to Configure Mongo on a Remote Server

mongodb

I have two servers, one for app(rails) and one for db(mongo).My rails config for mongo will be like this(yaml file):

hosts:
  - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:57777
database: admin
username: root
password: some_password

So.. how can I configure on the mongo server including the 57777 port, password for root user?

Best Answer

For the port you need to start mongod with parameter --port 57777 . Alternative place it on the configuration file under

net: port: 57777

For the username and password part you need to enable security by start mongod with parameter--auth . Alternative place it on the configuration file under security.authorization = enable Then you can create the username:root assign a password and certain privileges.
