Ok, getting closer...

One thing I'm not sure about was the edit mongo .conf - It didn't have an auth=true ???

tom@ama:~/nodebb$ sudo nano /etc/mongod.conf

GNU nano 2.5.3 File: /etc/mongod.conf Modified

#security:

#operationProfiling:

#replication:

#sharding:

Enterprise-Only Options:

#auditLog:

#snmp:

???

Then on to node install I get this:

19/2 11:24:02 [23753] - info: Now configuring mongo database:
