Cannot bind Mongodb to VM's public ip

Thanks for the detailed explanation @Stennie_X

  1. the VM has a reserved static IP (attached) … but when i run ifconfig -a | grep "inet" it does not show up.

  2. Logs show as

  1. I have this IP configured to a domain that is working (using an A record -> pointing to this static IP)

Maybe something to do with the IP address on the VM?
