MongoDB Create User Erro

[PaigeLynn]

When I try to create my admin database using this code (l stands for a letter and 1 stands for a number

db.createUser( { user: “admin”, pwd: “lllll111llll”, roles: [ { role: "root", db: “admin” } ] } )

I get this error

2019-08-11T20:39:59.700+0000 E QUERY    [js] SyntaxError: illegal character @(shell):1:23

@PaigeLynn said in MongoDB Create User Erro:

db.createUser( { user: “admin”, pwd: “lllll111llll”, roles: [ { role: "root", db: “admin” } ] } )

Try using regular quotes around strings " and not “

Re: MongoDB Create User Erro

Tried this

db.createUser( { user: ‘admin’, pwd: ‘redacted, roles: [ { role: ‘root’, db: ‘admin’ } ] } )

@PaigeLynn we're telling you to use actual quotation marks, not slanted ones

db.createUser( { user: "admin", pwd: "lllll111llll", roles: [ { role: "root", db: "admin" } ] } )

SUDO NANO /etc/mongod.conf

@PaigeLynn of you're getting the same error with the mongo cli then it's not NodeBB that's the problem and I can't help you.

Now this has happened on both AWS AND DIGITAL OCEAN so I be followed these steps step by step so either I'm stupid and can't follow directions or something's missing that I'm not able to connect with
