Disable MongoDB Authentication and IP Binding
If your system uses MongoDB authentication or custom IP binding, prior to using the FileCloud Update tool for Windows, MongoDB authentication and IP binding must be disabled.
To disable MongoDB authentication and IP binding:
- Backup the MongoDB config file by running the command:
copy C:\xampp\mongodb\bin\mongodb.conf %TEMP%
- In C:\xampp\mongodb\bin\mongodb.conf, disable authentication by adding # (a comment character) at the beginning of the line auth = true:
#auth = true
- Also in C:\xampp\mongodb\bin\mnogodb.conf, disable IP binding by uncommenting bind_ip_all and commenting bind_ip:
#ip address bind_ip_all = true #bind_ip = 10.2.3.44
- Restart MongoDB to activate the changes.
- Test access using mongo shell.
(If you are updating from a version of FileCloud prior to version 23.1, use mongo instead of mongosh in the following command:cd C:\xampp\mongodb\bin mongosh --quiet --eval "show dbs" # you should see output similar to this: admin 148.00 KiB config 108.00 KiB fcbackup 20.00 KiB fcbackup_duo 20.00 KiB
- Update FileCloud using the Update Tool.
- Re-enable IP binding and authentication and restart MongoDB.
