Authentication Error

[abhishekgahlot]

Hi

I am using different port and username|password . I get error
Failed to connect to: localhost:32759: Authentication failed
I am sure my username and password are correct . It connects fine via simple php mongoClient class.
Don't know why this happening.

After i reviewed source , it seems ok it should be passing password fine but its not connecting in laravel 4.

Can you show me what connection string you used for the MongoClient class?

[abhishekgahlot]

Its

'mongodb' => array(
'driver' => 'mongodb',
'host' => 'localhost',
'port' => 32759,
'username' => 'darky',
'password' => 'password',
'database' => 'database',
)

I tried another mongoDB package which is lmongo, That giving same error too.

Can you show me the one you used for PHP's MongoClient one?

Your configuration should generate:

mongodb://darky:password@localhost:32759/database

[abhishekgahlot]

class DbConnection{

static protected $_instance;

protected $db = null;

final protected function __construct()
{
    $m = new MongoClient("mongodb://darky:password@localhost:32759");
    $this->db = $m->selectDB( "database" );
}

static public function getInstance() {
    if (!(self::$_instance instanceof self))
    {
        self::$_instance = new self();
    }
    return self::$_instance;
}

public function getConnection()
{
    return $this->db;
}

final protected function __clone() { }

}

Its simple database connection class that i generally used to connect to mongo.

[abhishekgahlot]

Yes, its fine.

but here are few things i found

$m = new MongoClient("mongodb://darky:password@localhost:32759/database");
$this->db = $m;

If i use this in my php code, I get same error auth fails. I think i need to setup database name afterwards.

I modified the DSN, can you try again now?

[abhishekgahlot]

Thanks, I just did with

tweaking function getDsn and changed this line

return "mongodb://{$credentials}" . implode(',', $hosts) . "/{$database}";

return "mongodb://{$credentials}" . implode(',', $hosts);

Because database is already selected in constructor like this
// Select database
$this->db = $this->connection->{$config['database']};

Also can you tell, is this repository https://github.com/navruzm/lmongo
similar to this one.

[jenssegers]

We both tackle the same problem in different ways, he creates a completely new eloquent/builder interface and I maintain the original eloquent/builder interface.

I wanted to be able to switch an existing project from SQL to MongoDB without having to change anything. If you switch to MongoDB with lmongo, you need to completely rewrite your existing code. Even simple things like where('age', '>', 30) are not possible with lmongo.

[abhishekgahlot]

Thanks for telling and yeah your repository looks like i am using mysql way to connect to mongo. Everything fine now. :)

[jenssegers]

From what I read on http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/connection-string/ I might have to revert the last commit for some users. If you don't specify a database in the connection string it authenticates to the admin database.

Are you sure you have correctly set up permissions etc?

[abhishekgahlot]

I am not sure , But let me try with mongodb setup on cloud server ie mongohq.com
Yes there could be problem with permissions.
