Connection works via terminal mongo but not using Laravel-MongoDB

[freak4pc]

Hey There,
Just installed Laravel-MongoDB on my Mongo setup,
After setting up everything in the database.php file I'm gettting a 'Failed to connect to: localhost:27017: Authentication failed on database 'vbtest' with username 'root': auth fails'

Even though I'm using exactly the same connection on the terminal which works.

Here's the Database.php config

'connections' => array(
                'mongodb'       => array(
                        'host'          => 'localhost',
                        'port'          => 27017,
                        'database'      => 'vbtest',
                        'username'      => 'root',
                        'password'      => 'mypassword'
                )
        ),

And this is how It works in the terminal

mongo --username=root --password=mypassword

Any ideas?
Thanks!
Shai.

Are you able to connect to your server using the regular PHP client? http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.mongoclient.php

Hey Jens,
Sorry it took 2 days to answer - Was away on vacation.

It does seem to work with a normal PHP client connection , e.g.

$mongo = new MongoClient('mongodb://root:mypassword@localhost/database');

The library should generate the following connection string for your configuration (https://github.com/jenssegers/Laravel-MongoDB/blob/master/src/Jenssegers/Mongodb/Connection.php#L94):

mongodb://root:mypassword@localhost:27017/vbtest

That is very interesting ... I'll check up a bit more on my end. I think you can close it and If i'll have any new findings I'll share them here. Thank you!

I struggled with this for a whole day...
the problem was 'localhost' did'nt work. on my system it must be '127.0.0.1'

I fixed this by installing mongo 1.6.5 driver with pecl upgrade mongo (running MongoDB 3.0)
