Lab: Configuration File

Oscar_Rodriguez · March 5, 2021, 9:37am

Hello everyone,
I’m pretty new to this stuff and I’m confused. What configuration file are we supposed to use? Are we supposed to use the example in the previous “Lecture: Configuration File”?

storage:
dbPath: “/data/db”
systemLog:
path: “/data/log/mongod.log”
destination: “file”
replication:
replSetName: M103
net:
bindIp : “127.0.0.1,192.168.103.100”
tls:
mode: “requireTLS”
certificateKeyFile: “/etc/tls/tls.pem”
CAFile: “/etc/tls/TLSCA.pem”
security:
keyFile: “/data/keyfile”
processManagement:
fork: true

No. It’s an example. You have to start with the file already loaded in the IDE and only add the parameters needed to satisfy the requirements. In this particular case the configuration file that is loaded is empty and as noted in Step 1 of the lab:

As a reminder, here are the requirements of your mongod instance:

run on port 27000

authentication is enabled

Thank you. Now I’m getting the below in the terminal.

sh-4.4# mongod -f mongod.conf
Error parsing YAML config file: yaml-cpp: error at line 2, column 6: illegal map value
try ‘mongod --help’ for more information

Oscar_Rodriguez · May 29, 2020, 3:33am

Running it again, I now get the below. To be honest, I’m not sure why it is saying something different now.

sh-4.4# mongod -f mongod.conf
Error reading config file: No such file or directory
try ‘mongod --help’ for more information

Oscar_Rodriguez · May 29, 2020, 4:13am

I found out what I did incorrectly. I used tab instead of space for indentions in the config file.

Hi @madhan_gopal,

You are not supposed to share answers to the lab in the discussion forum. Please refrain from doing this in the future. I’ve removed your post.

Hi every one,

i’m new to this kind of stuff. i got stuck in configuring file. can you guys please help me out here, i have got the below error

3 total, 1 passed, 0 skipped:
[PASS] “The server is running on localhost:27000”
[FAIL] “The server requires authentication”

Don’t forget to launch mongod with authentication enabled!
You can do this using the configuration file.

[FAIL] “Mongod was started with a configuration file”

Screenshot of the IDE when you started mongod.

A post was split to a new topic: Stuck in this lab : Configuration files

Shubham_Ranjan · June 10, 2020, 9:21am

Hi @Srinivas_Mamidala,

Can you please explain the options that you have mentioned in your configuration file ?

The options that you have specified are wrong. Please re-read the instructions mentioned in the lab.

For reference you can refer our documentation as well : Configuration File Options

steevej · June 10, 2020, 9:30am

Review the lesson where the IDE is presented. You have entered the mongod command in the file editing area.

Srinivas_Mamidala · June 10, 2020, 3:44pm

Hi Ranjan,

please find below config file, i’m using. let me know, i’m going in the correct direction, because i got the same error again.

storage:
dbPath: “/data/db”
net:
bindIp : local host
port : 27000
security:
authorization: enabled
mongod -f mongod.conf

i have ran this in the terminal.

Ramachandra_Tummala · June 10, 2020, 4:18pm

Is your mongod up and running?
Please show the screenshot of your terminal where you ran the command

Srinivas_Mamidala · June 10, 2020, 4:27pm

As far as my understanding, this is what i was trying to execute. please see below SS

Ramachandra_Tummala · June 10, 2020, 4:33pm

Those lines in your config file are comments

You are suppose to add parameters as per your lab
1.edit your mongod.conf
2.add parameters
3.save the file
Then run mongod -f mongod.conf

Srinivas_Mamidala · June 10, 2020, 4:40pm

i did this,

but, still i got the same error. let me know, i’m i missing some thing,?

this is after runtest

Ramachandra_Tummala · June 10, 2020, 4:45pm

Did you hit enter?
It will display some message
Unless mongod is up and running no point in running your test
It will fail

Srinivas_Mamidala · June 10, 2020, 5:11pm

yes, i did hit enter, before run test.
it gave this below output, before i hit the run test.
