Mongoose 5.10.10 - Windows 10+WSL2 - Mongo 4.4.1

Worked fine before the MongoDB upgrade. I dynamically acquire Windows IP in Ubuntu on WSL and connect (or try to) on WIN_IP:27017. Connection fails with timout every time. I've tried many combinations of options. Nothing helps. I've had to resort to Mongo in Docker, which works perfectly well, but is sub-optimal for my purposes.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Could have happened during Mongo upgrade or maybe during Windows upgrade. But several things needed fixing.

  1. Even though the Mongo bin directory has a mongod.cfg with dbPath specified correctly, mongod tries to start with dbPath = c:\data\db. This is how it would be set up on a server, I'm told.
  2. I changed mongod's bind ip address to 0.0.0.0 (from 127.0.0.1).
  3. I punched a hole in the firwall specifically for mongod.exe.

One or more of these changes did the trick. Sorry, I don't know if any one or two would have worked.

Had the same problem this week. I'm my case I just figured it out it was WSL version I updated over the weekend. Running wsl --set-version {distro} 1 on the PowerShell did the trick.
