I don't think it was Mongodb's user or db being the issue ._.
Pretty sure "host identifier" has something to do with either nodebb or mongo's hosting setup, but I think it was that of NodeBB
on the second time it wasn't accepting my webInstaller settings - not through the command line.
But thanks.
I wasn't talking about host identifier, I was talking about how to set up using auth and managing your DB's.
You having connection issues you should post all your logs, including nodebb, nginx configurations etc.
You said:
double colon in host identifier
Most likely issue with having a wrong syntax with the config.
