Bind MongoDB to IP address when running as Service

I am new to MongoDB, so excuse me for a basic question but.

I am running MongoDB (3.6, Professional) on a Windows PC. I have managed to add it as a Windows Service to start automatically on Startup.

However, it binds to 127.0.0.1 or localhost.

The IP on that PC is 192.168.1.10 and I would like to access the server from different LAN PCs.

When I run Mongo, I get:

WARNING: This server is bound to localhost. Remote systems will be unable to connect to this server. Start the server with --bind_ip to specify which IP addresses it should serve responses from, or with --bind_ip_all to bind to all interfaces. If this behavior is desired, start the server with --bind_ip 127.0.0.1 to disable this warning.

So I went to Services.msc, and added --bind_ip_all as a parameter, and restarted the service. But get the same warning. How can I get my MongoDB service to bind to all, or better yet, bind_ip = 127.0.0.1,192.168.1.10?

I may have resolved this, but not sure if it's the right way.

  • I removed the service.
  • I recreated the service, but added a conf parameter and provided a path to my config file.

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin>mongod --dbpath=C:\Storage\database\mongodb\data --logpath=C:\Storage\database\mongodb\logs --config "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin\mongod.conf" --install

  • I created a config file:

Listen to local and LAN interfaces.

# network interfaces
net:
  port: 27017
  bindIp: 127.0.0.1,192.168.1.10  # Listen to local interface only, comment to listen on all interfaces.

It seems I can now bind to both localhost and my IP address..
