Note  Commenting out bind ip can make your system vulnerable to security flaws  Please see Security Checklist  It is a better idea to add more IP addresses than to open up your system to everything  You need to edit your  etc mongod conf file s bind ip variable to include the IP of the computer you re using  or eliminate it altogether  I was able to connect using the following mongod conf file  I commented out bind ip and uncommented port    mongod conf    Where to store the data     Note  if you run MongoDB as a non-root user  recommended  you may   need to create and set permissions for this directory manually    E g   if the parent directory isn t mutable by the MongoDB user   dbpath  var lib mongodb    Where to log logpath  var log mongodb mongod log  logappend true  port   27017    Listen to local interface only  Comment out to listen on all interfaces    bind ip   127 0 0 1     Disables write-ahead journaling   nojournal   true    Enables periodic logging of CPU utilization and I O wait  cpu   true    Turn on off security   Off is currently the default  noauth   true   auth   true    Verbose logging output   verbose   true    Inspect all client data for validity on receipt  useful for   developing drivers   objcheck   true    Enable db quota management  quota   true    Set oplogging level where n is     0 off  default      1 W     2 R     3 both     7 W some reads  diaglog   0    Ignore query hints  nohints   true    Enable the HTTP interface  Defaults to port 28017    httpinterface   true    Turns off server-side scripting   This will result in greatly limited   functionality  noscripting   true    Turns off table scans   Any query that would do a table scan fails   notablescan   true    Disable data file preallocation   noprealloc   true    Specify  ns file size for new databases    nssize    lt size gt     Replication Options   In replicated MongoDB databases  specify the replica set name here  replSet setname    Maximum size in megabytes for replication operation log  oplogSize 1024    Path to a key file storing authentication info for connections   between replica set members  keyFile  path to keyfile  Don t forget to restart the mongod service before trying to connect  service mongod restart  From Robomongo  I used the following connection settings  Connection Tab   Address   VPS IP    27017  SSH Tab   SSH Address   VPS IP    22  SSH User Name   Username for sudo enabled user   SSH Auth Method  Password  User Password  Supersecret

Robomongo 0 8 5 definitely works with MongoDB 3 X  mine version of MongoDB is 3 0 7  the newest one   The following steps should be done to connect to the MongoDB server   Install MongoDB server  on Windows  Linux  etc  Your choice  Run the MongoDB server  Don t set net bind ip   127 0 0 1 if you want the client to connect to the server by server s own IP address  Connect to the server from Robomongo with the server IP address   set authentication if needed
