Connect Robomongo to a virtual machine

I have a problem. I am using Virtual Box with RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) and I have installed MongoDB and Oracle-XE database.

I am trying to connect to my DBs from Windows OS. I can connect to my Oracle database using SQL Developer, however when trying to use Robomongo to connect to my MongoDB, I cannot connect. And I have no idea why.

I have specified port forwarding in both cases, why does one work and the other not?

I've tried the following:

address: localhost port: 27017
address: 127.0.0.1 port: 27017
address: mongo.localhost port: 27017

And others ... Why can't I connect to Robomongo?

In ubuntu, I opened \etc\mongod.conf

I have commented bind_ip = 0.0.0.0

before#bind_ip = 0.0.0.0



And as you know, you should use address: 192.168.0.105. port: 27017

(your linux ip; you can get Ip with command> $hostname -I

Maybe the same works for u in RedHat

Following the comments bind_ip

in \etc\mongod.conf


You need to do port forwarding

in the VirtualBox setup.
Typically, your VirtualBbox IP will be something like 10.0.2.15


(confirm with a command hostname -I

in the VM)

and suppose the IP address of your pc host 192.168.1.234


(confirm that with command ipconfig

on host pc)

now open your virtual machine settings
click Network

→port forwarding




add something like:

Name Protocol HostIP HostPort GuestIP GuestPort
Rule1 TCP 192.168.1.234 27017 10.0.2.15 27017
Rule2 TCP 192.168.1.234 80 & nbsp 10.0.2.15              

now after installing Robomongo connecting IP = GuestIP
you should use the virtualbox address: 192.168.1.234 port: 27017


should now route your request to the right place.
