MongoDB Server Configuration

I have a MongoDB server running on my localhost. I wrote a simple Python program that reads/writes to the database using "localhost"; however, I want to give other clients access to my MongoDB server. For now, I am not concerned about access security and would like to grant access to anyone. How should I configure the Mongo Server to do this?

Here is the simple program connecting to localhost.

    from pymongo import MongoClient
    connection = MongoClient("Localhost")
    db = connection.hockey.players
    results = db.find()
    print()
    print('+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-')
    for record in results:
        print(record['name'] + ',',record['position'])
    connection.close()

The error message I'm getting: File "C:/Users/Peter/PycharmProjects/Test/helloWorld.py", line 8, in for record in results: File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\pymongo\cursor.py", line 1097, in next if len(self.__data) or self._refresh(): File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\pymongo\cursor.py", line 1019, in _refresh self.__read_concern)) File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\pymongo\cursor.py", line 850, in __send_message **kwargs) File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\pymongo\mongo_client.py", line 777, in _send_message_with_response server = topology.select_server(selector) File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\pymongo\topology.py", line 142, in select_server address)) File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\pymongo\topology.py", line 118, in select_servers self._error_message(selector)) pymongo.errors.ServerSelectionTimeoutError: x.y.z.w:27017: timed out

Process finished with exit code 1

Below is my current localhost setup that works fine if I run it on my client which hosts the MongoDB. Current setup

Thanks

Give them your ip address and the port number (Default:27017) to connect to your server. Also edit the bindIp in the mongod.conf file as bindIp: 0.0.0.0. Ask them to connect to your database by using something like:

from pymongo import MongoClient
connection = MongoClient("mongodb://your_ip:yourport")

If you're on windows, create the configuration file mongod.cfg. And add the entry as

systemLog:
    destination: file
    path: c:\data\log\mongod.log
storage:
    dbPath: c:\data\db
net:
    bindIp: 0.0.0.0
    port: 27017

Make sure you've already created log and db folder or change the path where your data and log folder are located. Start the mongodb by specyfying thr configuration file.
