Hi @Amita_62847,

Please run these commands at the vagrant prompt and share the output.

cd /shared

To change the directory

ls

To view the content of the current directory.

Note : The content in your configuration file is not correct. I would suggest you to read the instructions mentioned in the Lab carefully and remove the unnecessary fields from the config file.

For more information you can refer our documentation - Configuration File

Hi @Amita_62847,

This was the problem. I would recommend you to remove the .txt extension as it does not really serve any purpose here.

The content in this configuration file was given as an example in the Lecture notes. The fields that are specified here isn’t something which you need in this Lab.

You need to have entries for only these fields in your configuration file.

Now the file content is :

storage:
dbPath: “/data/db”
systemLog:
destination: “file”
path: “/data/log/mongod.log”
net:
port: 27000
bindIp: “127.0.0.1,192.168.103.100”
security:
keyFile: “/data/keyfile”
processManagement:
fork: true

please tell for authentication which key value is used

and also in windows there is only one option to create conf file i.e. text document. how can I change the extension?

vagrant@m103:/shared$ ls

Hi @Amita_62847,

Please share the output of this command (last 40-50 lines).

cat /data/log/mongod.log

In addition to that, please make sure you don’t have any unnecessary fields present in your configuration file.
