MongoDB University M103: Basic Cluster Administration
#1

Hi, I know this chapter is far past due, I am trying to prepare for next month’s course. When I attempt to run mongo with my config file, i receive this:14%20AM

here is my config file, also:
storage:
dbPath: /data/db
systemLog:
path: /data/log/mongod.log
destination: file
replication:
replSetName: M103
net:
port: 27000
bindIp : “192.168.103.100,localhost”
ssl:
mode: requireSSL
PEMKeyFile: /etc/ssl/ssl.pem
CAFile: /etc/ssl/SSLCA.pem
security:
keyFile: /data/keyfile
authorization: enabled

Any help is appreciated!

You can ignore that message
It is saying earlier logfile exists with same name and has been moved/renamed
Just tail your logfile and make sure your mongod is up and waiting for connections

Thank you for helping. what do you mean by tail my logfile? it does not wait for connections after the message; just skips to the next command line.

tail is a command used in unix to view last few lines of a file
In windows you may have to use a different command may be type
What i meant is in logfile you will see “waiting for connection” message which means mongod is ready to accept connections

Just open another session and connect to mongo
mongo --port port_number userid/pwd as instructed in your class lectures
