I know this question has been asked a few times, but I couldn't find any working answer.
I'm using Google App Engine and Firestore (Database location: eur3 - europe-west).
A few days ago, my simple app was working like a charm and more precisely Firestore was working.
I could test/use it locally through nodemon or online (when deployed).
Since this morning, and I change nothing, it doesn't work anymore locally.
I can't access my DB locally anymore, but I can when deployed to GAE.
Locally I got this error and this is a DB access issue:
PERMISSION_DENIED: Missing or insufficient permissions. {"code":7,"details":"Missing or insufficient permissions.","metadata":{}}
My code to access DB has always been as simple as:
// service/firestore.js
const Firestore = require("#google-cloud/firestore");
const db = new Firestore();
module.exports.db = db;
Do you have any clue why I can't write/read locally to Firestore this morning?
(BTW I've never modified security rules and it has always been working).
Thanks

I'm trying to make a Netlify app that posts data to an Atlas MongoDB, and while I can post to the DB when I run my page from localhost, Netlify is returning a 404 whenever I attempt to post data to the DB. I know it is not an issue with Atlas's whitelisted IP addresses because I have whitelisted all IP addresses for the time being. I suspect that this has something to do with Netlify not properly reading or running the env.process that I'm using to store my Atlas information, although I am not completely certain that is the cause. When I run it locally, I have my config set up to simply use the Atlas information directly rather than relying on a .env file. I'm using mongoose to connect to the DB, and the connection portion of my code is the following in my production build:
mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGODB_URI || "mongodb://localhost/dbname");
This has not been working, but on the working copy that I run from localhost, I use:
const uri = `mongodb://atlasDB:<PASSWORDHERE>#atlasDB-shard-00-00-ot2tv.mongodb.net:27017,atlasDB-shard-00-01-ot2tv.mongodb.net:27017,atlasDB-shard-00-02-ot2tv.mongodb.net:27017/test?ssl=true&replicaSet=atlasDB-shard-0&authSource=admin&retryWrites=true`;
mongoose.connect(uri);
I have configured Netlify to have a MONGODB_URI build environmental variable of mongodb://atlasDB:<PASSWORDHERE>#atlasDB-shard-00-00-ot2tv.mongodb.net:27017,atlasDB-shard-00-01-ot2tv.mongodb.net:27017,atlasDB-shard-00-02-ot2tv.mongodb.net:27017/test?ssl=true&replicaSet=atlasDB-shard-0&authSource=admin&retryWrites=true
I have replaced PASSWORDHERE with the actual password in both instances, but the Netlify build environmental variable does not feature string quotations around the value when viewed in the entry field on the Netlify website. I tried putting them in, but it seemed to make no difference, but I may have simply not waiting long enough for the change to take effect.
Aside from Mongoose, I am not running any other dependencies that should have any effect on this problem. The project deadline is in a couple days, so any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
i'm pretty new to web development and much more in Google Cloud, sorry for anything.
Basically, i'm doing the backend part of an app in Swift (using Perfect), and it's running smoothly and okay in my local computer, i'm using a local Postgre database (using PostgreORM in my application).
But, when i deploy that to the Google Cloud, it does not recognize the database (i've created a identical poster database in the computer engine AND a Cloud SQL (Postgre service of Google Cloud with the same names and credentials), but again, when the app is on the cloud, it does not recognize the database, what i'm missing? How should i do it? Install other docker image with Postgre?
Here's my DBConnector code:
import PostgresStORM
func setupDBCredentials() -> PostgresConnector.Type{
let connection = PostgresConnector.self
connection.host = "localhost" // or the connection name of the Google Cloud, it doesn't work as well
connection.username = "postgres"
connection.password = "nearby"
connection.database = "nearby"
connection.port = 5432
return connection
}
Basically, how do i make my google app engine code connect to any database at all?
Also, if it helps, i'm using the Perfect Assistant to deploy my code to Google Cloud, using Docker.
Thanks already!
You'll likely need to do a few things to get connected, such as granting access to the Cloud SQL instance. Here is the link to the PHP docs that cover the broad steps that you'll want to follow and it shows a representation of the connection string that you'll also need.
I believe your connection string needs to look something like this
pgsql:dbname=DATABASE;host=/cloudsql/CONNECTION_NAME
Where CONNECTION_NAME is in the format of PROJECT_ID:CLOUD_SQL_REGION_ID:CLOUD_SQL_INSTANCE_ID
I'm trying to connect to a mongoDB instance hosted by mlab from heroku but It just keeps responding with:
`validate!': not authorized for query on .lotto_results (13)'
Which doesn't make sense as the user account has dbOwner role which means it should be able to read and write.
I found somthing about how heroku's nature (how it restarts) can cause problems but It didn't seem to explain how to fix it ( I would like to give a link to this but I can't seem to find the web page, it was a google thread I think).
I'm using the mongoid gem, with sinatra and grape and sprockets for assets (if that helps).
Not sure what else to mention, if there's anything else just ask and I'll try to answer it.
In the end I solved the problem by changing my config to:
development:
clients:
default:
uri: <%= ENV['MONGOLAB_URI'] %>
which used the pre-generated uri and it suddenly started working, well kind of, I'm still having issues but it's not an authentication issue at least.
Apologies in advance for any failing with my terminology and understanding with Meteor/Mongo, I've just started learning and developing with it.
I am trying to connect my local meteor app to a remote mongodb which is hosted elsewhere.
My code looks like this:
Bills = new Mongo.Collection("bills");
if (Meteor.isClient) {
Meteor.subscribe("bills");
// This code only runs on the client
Template.body.helpers({
documentContent: function () {
return Bills.find();
}
});
Template.documentBody.helpers({
documentContent: function ()
{
var thingy = Bills.find();
console.log(thingy);
return Bills.find({_id: "784576346gf874"});
}
});
}
I have connected to the DB via the shell using the following:
$ MONGO_URL="mongodb://mysite.net:27017/legislation" meteor
In my browser I receive no errors and within my defined template I see [object Object]. The console shows a local miniCollection but doesn't return any of my documents from the subscribed collection.
I guess what I am asking is; if you were connecting to a remote MongoDB within your local app, how would you do it?
Thank you for taking the time to read, any helps is massively appreciated.
Rex, If you're not seeing errors in the output on the browser, or in the console where you're running the server then you may be setup ok. That's exactly how I'm doing it.
Run meteor list in server directory and look for insecure and autopublish
You should understand these two packages They are for rapid prototyping. If they are present, then keep digging into MongoDB and the connection.
I recommend Robomongo for viewing documents directly in MongoDB.
If they are absent, then you need to go about publishing data (getting it from the server to the client) and securing it (letting clients only modify their data).
I recommend these two packages for that.

If you haven't read an introduction to meteor book, it's really worth the time. I've been developing for some time and learned meteor recently. It was invaluable.
We have a Mongo Database for testing purposes on a cloud server.
Recently, this server almost run out of space (97% disk used), and that resulted in Mongo writes failing. I decided to resize the server to have more free space.
Important detailed that i set the auth parameter in the config to true, so each clients had to auth before using the db. I thought this is normal. I created a user with the following command, which worked:
db.addUser( { user: "username",pwd: "password",roles: [ "userAdminAnyDatabase" ] } );
Now, what happened, that when the resize happened and mongo restarted, i cannot get any reads / writes to the database, only if i set the auth = false parameter in the config. I couldn't even add a user from localhost.
The other interesting thing was that i switched off auth and recreated the same user - it succeeeded, which means the user got lost!
Ok, i have lost the user after a restart. That's bad. What's worse that still, i can't get this user to auth from the remote clients.
I have no idea why is this happening, what went wrong.
The data, which is originally intended to create still exists, count() returns 111090914, which about what is expected. I can also do find(), so that data is OK.
