trouble enabling HTTP interface

[sd43065]

I'm trying out MongoDB on a Debian Wheezy (v7.5) server but having trouble enabling HTTP interface for monitoring.

The default DB port 27017 seems working fine (I got message "...you are trying to access MongoDB over HTTP..." by visiting http://localhost:27017).

I already added in iptables a rule for opening port 28017 and iptables -L shows the rule does get applied.

However, I can not see http://localhost:28017 ("Unable to connect") and nmap -p 28017 localhost says 443/tcp closed.

Am I missing something?

Please help. Thanks.

By the way. I already set nohttpinterface = false in /etc/mongod.conf.

If you are using MongoDB 2.6 the option has essentially flipped. Now you must specify "httpinterface=true" as it is disabled by default.

Before, it was enabled by default so it was the other way around. Let me know if that works.

Hi, Tyler Brock,

Thank you so much! Your tip (using httpinterface=true) really works!

I'm using version 2.6.1. However, mongod.conf still came only with a line for setting nohttpinterface value. I struggled with this issue for quite a few days. I thought it must be my iptables rules not working or something and never guessed it's actually mongodb's configuration.

Thanks again.

Yeah, I totally agree, that is terrible. I made a ticket for this issue: https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-14283

You can vote/follow along there.
