                              \n
                              sudo<\/span> ufw status\r\nsudo<\/span> ufw allow 27017<\/span>\/tcp\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
                                \n
                              1. Review the MongoDB Log Files<\/strong>: If you’re still unable to resolve the issue, check the MongoDB log files located at\u00a0\/var\/log\/mongodb\/<\/code>\u00a0for any error messages or clues that may help you identify the problem.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
