You may need to create the nodebb database

@Dan-Reyes
If you do

 use admin

when login to mongo, and then you do db.createUser database is admin not nodebb

[scottalanmiller]

Did you run the NodeBB installation routine? It creates this database for you.

I followed this guide:

Ubuntu (Recommended) - NodeBB Documentation

and I still get the same error he is having.

What version of mongodb? Try downgrading to mongo 3.x
