Hello,

I was starting mongod.exe on local machine that is supposed to be member of replica set that also includes remote server located at 192.241.xxx.xx. I am getting the error message in the title of e-mail. Please see below log file. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

Additional detail: I edited /etc/hosts file on Windows machine to include both my local machine IP and the server IP.

Thanks in advance,

Yaroslav

I also tried to start mongod file on the server - there I get the following error message:

"about to fork child process, waiting until server is ready for connections.

forked process: 31364

ERROR: child process failed, exited with error number 1"

I don't know why but log file is empty on server.
