MongoError: auth failed mongoose connection string

Question

I can connect to the DB through terminal, but getting this error using mongoose and gulp. mongoose/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongodb/connection/base.js:246 MongoError: auth

Answer 1

I installed MEAN at https://bitnami.com/stack/mean for windows 7 When install I make password is 123456

Syntax make connect to mongodb with mongoose

mongoose.connect("mongodb://[usr]:[pwd]@localhost:[port]/[db]",{auth:{authdb:"admin"}});

If have no

{auth:{authdb:"admin"}}

You will get error message "MongoError: auth failed"

Example: mongo-test/app.js

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://root:123456@localhost/test',{auth:{authdb:"admin"}});
mongoose.set('debug', true); // turn on debug
