[3918] - error: NodeBB could not connect to your Mongo database. Mongo returned the following error: Authentication failed.

[tango]

Hi,

Trying to get NodeBB installed on an Amazon (Linux) EC2 that also has MongoDB on it.

When I run ./nodebb setup I get error

MongoError: Authentication failed.
at Function.MongoError.create (/home/ec2-user/nodebb/node_modules/mongodb/node_modules/mongodb-core/lib/error.js:31:11)

I can successfully log in to mongo with same credentials

mongo --host 172.30.0.160 -u xxxx -p 'xxxxxx' --authenticationDatabase 'admin'

Any ideas where I might be going wrong?

Thanks in advance

Todd

Just a user on the actual nodebb database issue. (had to create one as opposed to trying to use the Global Admin)

All sorted

@tango I'm experiencing the same issue. Can you elaborate on how you fixed it. I get this trace:
