I'm building an application in MeteorJS.
I want to have GUI access to built-in MongoDB database.
So I found: https://github.com/andzdroid/mongo-express
I installed it, configured it to connect to localhost:3001.
Since mongodb doesn't have a default admin password, I tried to create it by:
meteor mongo
use admin
db.addUser("admin","password")
then I set
adminUsername: 'admin',
adminPassword: 'password',
in mongo-express\config.js.
However when I open localhost:8081, it asks me login credentials again and even if I insert them manaully (admin, password) it doesn't work.
So I went back to meteor mongo, tried to create admin user again and go error
Error: couln't add user: User admin#admin" already exists
What am I doing wrong?
edit /usr/local/lib/node_modules/mongo-express/config.default.js
find and edit to:
} else {
mongo = {
db: 'meteor',
host: 'localhost',
password: '',
port: 3001,
ssl: false,
url: 'mongodb://localhost:3001/meteor',
username: '',
};
}

I installed Mongodb on my remote server using this documentation. I have Ubuntu 16.04 on my remote server. Mongodb got installed successfully. I added the user like this:
use admin
db.createUser(
{
user: 'myuser',
pwd: 'password',
roles: [ { role: 'readWrite', db: 'mydb' } ]
}
);
I also made changes in the mongod.conf like this:
net:
port: 27017
bindIp: 127.0.0.1,<server_ip>
security:
authorization: 'enabled'
Now when I try to connect to mongodb using conneciton string like this:
mongodb://myuser:password#server_ip:27017/mydb
It gives me the following error:
connection timed out
What am I doing wrong here? I am using Laravel Forge to manage sever.
As it turned out the port was not open and that was the only issue. Opened the port and now its working fine.
Can a sails.js database connection be configured using a URI, or a URL which incorporates the credentials (host, user, password, and database) into one string? Or do they need to be individually assigned as their own key-value pairs in the configuration?
In development, I have configured my sails.js app to use environment variables for database credentials, as such:
in connections.js:
someSqlDatabase: {
host: process.env.dbHost,
user: process.env.dbUserName,
password: process.env.dbPassword,
database: process.env.db,
port: 5432,
ssl: true,
adapter: 'sails-postgresql'
This works for my connection to a heroku-postgresql resource that I've allocated to my project, and I am able to manually set "Config Vars" in my heroku instance, which I can use in the same way as environment variables in my local instance. By this I mean I can go to the heroku client page for the database resource, copy its credentials (host, database, user, and password) into the heroku app's configuration variables, individually.
The problem is that heroku periodically changes the credentials, and that my manually-copied configuration variables will become outdated, and require re-pasting whenever this happens. Obviously, this is not an ideal solution.
Heroku does automatically provide one configuration variable for the resource, called DATABASE_URL, which looks like:
"postgres://<user>:<password>#<host>:<port>/<database>"
which should be automatically updated, when the credentials change.
My problem is that I don't know how to configure a sails.js connection to use this url, in the place of individual "host", "user", "password", and "database" key/value pairs in the the connection config.
I've tried using a configuration that omits the individual keys and uses only "host", as such:
someSqlDatabase: {
host: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
ssl: true,
adapter: 'sails-postgresql'
}
But this connection fails. I've seen this kind of string called a URI, and I've tried the long-shot configuration:
someSqlDatabase: {
uri: proccess.env.DATABASE_URL
ssl: true,
adapter: 'sails-postgresql'
}
but this fails, as well. Is there a way to configure a sails-js connection with heroku postgresql database that will automatically use the latest credentials? (I am using sails v0.12.3)
I am not using PostgreSQL, but you could try/adapt this:
// before/outside module.exports
var url = require('url').parse(process.env.DATABASE_URL);
// within the config
someSqlDatabase: {
host: url.host,
user: url.auth.split(':')[0],
password: url.auth.split(':')[1],
database: url.pathname.substring(1),
port: url.port,
ssl: true,
adapter: 'sails-postgresql'
}
The following is probably the correct way to do this :
module.exports = {
...
default: {
ssl: true,
url: process.env.HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_SILVER_URL,
adapter: 'sails-postgresql'
},
...
}
inside config/env/production.js
I'm using sails-sqlserver where my host is running both SQL Server 2008 and 2012. In connections.js - host: is set to 'SQLServerhost\2012' I am getting the error "error: A hook (orm) failed to load!" Is there a different way to specify which SQL Server to connect to?
I've found success with the below format in /config/connections.js when I need to work with different databases on the same server (but see below suggestion):
sqlserverLOCAL: {
adapter: 'sails-sqlserver',
user: 'username',
password: 'password',
host: 'localhost', // Name or IP Address of SQL Server
port: '1433',
database: 'YourDBName' // i.e. Initial Catalog
},
sqlserver: {
adapter: 'sails-sqlserver',
user: 'username',
password: 'password',
host: '11.222.333.444', // IP Address of SQL Server
port: '1433',
database: 'OtherDBName' // i.e. Initial Catalog
}
In your case, perhaps setting both host: attributes to the same server (just SQLServerhost rather than SQLServerhost\2012) and then set the database: attribute to the appropriate Initial Catalog would be best. Also, make sure you double-check what ports the two SQL Servers are running on and set that attribute value accordingly.
I have a personal project in SailsJS, Passport-Local and PostgreSQL. I managed to get connection and save users in PostgreSQL DB. But I have big problem with session storing. From what I know SailsJS is using Connect to get it done.
Previous working code for MongoDB:
connections: {
prodMongodbServer: {
adapter: 'sails-mongo',
host: 'localhost',
port: 27017,
//user: '',
//password: '',
database: 'sails-auth'
}
},
session: {
adapter: 'mongo',
host: 'localhost',
port: 27017,
db: 'sails-auth',
collection: 'sessions'
}
My (working) connection to PostgreSQL:
connections: {
somePostgresqlServer: {
adapter: 'sails-postgresql',
host: 'localhost',
port: 5432,
user: 'postgres',
password: 'Password1',
database: 'sails-auth'
}
},
And the code I have problem with:
session: {
adapter: 'connect-pg-simple',
host: 'localhost',
port: 5432,
user: 'postgres',
password: 'Password1',
db: 'sails-auth'
}
I've installed connect-pg-simple, executed SQL code but when I am starting sails app I get an error:
$ sails lift
info: Starting app...
Init Express midleware
Failed to prune sessions: password authentication failed for user "myPcUser"
info:

I thought that it may be beetter to use connect-pg, but it requires so many dependecy that I stayed with simple version. Anyone know what this problem is about? Im on windows so its weird that it have problem with my PC User...
Or maybe someone have some solution for using PostgreSQL for users, etc and Mongo for sessions. For what I've tested Passport doesnt allow to do that (user can sign up but can't sign in)
Perhaps you can fix this error open PostgreSQL client authentication configuration file:
/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf
and change:
local all all trust
host all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
Save and close the file. Restart Postgresql server:
service postgresql restart
To make it work
Install the connect-pg-simple node module: $ npm install connect-pg-simple
In session.js define the adapter and connection string:
adapter: 'connect-pg-simple',
conString: 'postgres://user:pass#host:5432/dbname',
3) run the SQL commands on file node_modules/connect-pg-simple/table.sql to create the table for sessions. :
CREATE TABLE "session" (
"sid" varchar NOT NULL COLLATE "default",
"sess" json NOT NULL,
"expire" timestamp(6) NOT NULL
)
WITH (OIDS=FALSE);
ALTER TABLE "session" ADD CONSTRAINT "session_pkey" PRIMARY KEY ("sid") NOT DEFERRABLE INITIALLY IMMEDIATE;
CREATE INDEX "IDX_session_expire" ON "session" ("expire");
I used for that sails-pg-session.
The information about sessions must be stored in config/session.js:
adapter: 'sails-pg-session',
database: 'dbname',
host: 'localhost',
user: 'dbuser',
password: 'dbpasswd',
port: 5432
Hope it helps
I'm currently working on a project where I use mongodb as database, and I began with no security in my mongo configuration of the symfony config.yml.
This is what my config.yml looked like since the beginning of the project.
doctrine_mongodb:
connections:
default:
server: mongodb://localhost:27017
options: {}
default_database: louisv
document_managers:
default:
auto_mapping: true
With this parameters the project works very well.
But I want to add security to mongodb database. So I tried to follow documentation on mongodb to create users. I created an "admin" user for the admin database, and a "louisv" user for the louisv database (the admin database is the database existing by default, and louisv is mine).
Now I want to Symfony to use this new user. I changed my the option parameters from my conf.yml file and now this is what I have :
doctrine_mongodb:
connections:
default:
server: mongodb://localhost:27017
options:
username: louisv
password: password
default_database: louisv
document_managers:
default:
auto_mapping: true
Now when I try to enter my application in Symfony
Failed to connect to: localhost:27017: Authentication failed on database 'admin' with username 'louisv': auth fails
Which is weird cause my default_database is "louisv' and not 'admin'.
And if I change the credentials to admin's ones, I have another error:
localhost:27017: not authorized for query on louisv.User
Which seems quite good as it seems to search for users, but I can't do queries.
Instead of:
server: mongodb://localhost:27017
The following should do the trick:
server: mongodb://localhost:27017/louisv
Apparently, the Doctrine ODM bundle also has a "db" option now, so you now have the following options:
connections:
default:
server: mongodb://louisv:password#localhost:27017/louisv
or
connections:
default:
server: mongodb://localhost:27017
options:
username: louisv
password: password
db: louisv
The first option is preferred, as it allows for automatic re-authentication in case a connection drops.

In addition to #derick's answer, my configuration was still trying to connect to the "default" database - adding the default_database entry solved this.
connections:
default:
server: "mongodb://myuser:password#mydbserver:27017/mydb"
default_database: mydb
Remember to keep usernames and passwords in a "parameters" file separate from the config file if stored in source control :)
