Trying to make a remote connection from Robomongo to my ec2 ubuntu mongodb. I have been able to make connections to other non-ec2 ubuntu servers with Robomongo. But when I try with ec2 I keep getting the "you skipped authorization" error. I can remote connect to it in the terminal, but not with Robomongo. Is there something I a missing with ec2 remote connections?
What I have done:
created a mongo user administrator
make a connection within Robomongo
I am able to connect but says I skipped authorization.
My mongo log reads:
Failed to authenticate neil#admin with mechanism MONGODB-CR: AuthenticationFailed MONGODB-CR credentials missing in the user document
The Robomongo (at least 0.8.4) does not support Mongo 3.0 at this time.
For PHP, just update mongo.so module via pecl, because only 1.6 version is fully support Mongo 3.0.

I want to work with Mongo Compass running in Windows and connect to MongoDb server in WSL2.
Both MongoDb services are working fine (I can connect from Windows to MongoDb server on Windows and from WSL2 to MongoDb server on WSL2).
Windows build 19042.
Thanks!
Unless you are running a pretty old build (from 2018 or earlier) WSL includes a feature known as Localhost Forwarding, which should automatically allow you to use localhost in Mongo Compass in Windows to connect to the database running under WSL.
However, sometimes that features "breaks", especially if you hibernate or turn on Windows with the Fast Startup feature enabled (which is the default).
If this is the case, try wsl --shutdown and restart WSL. Then disable Fast Startup. If you do need to hibernate, remember that you may need to wsl --shutdown again to restore the forwarding mechanism.
See this answer for some additional details.
As far, as I understood, to access something running on WSL from you host-machine(Windows) you need to manually map host:port of your WSL MongoDB server to localhost.
This link describes the topic, I hope:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/networking#accessing-a-wsl-2-distribution-from-your-local-area-network-lan
After mapping your port you probably will connect to your MongoDB server via Compass with mapped address and port.
I am trying to connect from my machine (client) to server, and it says I cant connect to server.
My machine is Windows 10 and Server machine is Windows Server 2016.
And I tried to connect from cmd and it gives me this error.
Help me with this problem please.
You should check the following items on the server running MongoDB.
Firewalls
Whitelists
You should also verify basic network communication using something like ping from the client to the server.
I will comment regarding Robomongo, seems like you are trying to connect to MongoDB 3.4 DB which only supported starting from the latest beta: Robomongo 1.1 - Beta version with MongoDB 3.4 Support
I am trying to connect to a MongoLab DB using the credentials and user I set up. I chose the AWS instance using the 500mb of storage (the free Sandbox version). It said it was 3.0.x for Mongo (showing 3.0.9 in MongoLab).
On my environment I am running MongoDB shell version: 3.2.1
Using the command:
mongo ds011111.mongolab.com:11111/mydbname -u dbname -p dbpass
in the shell, I am able to connect to the DB just fine. However, when trying to connect through Robomongo, I am not. I am using the same username, password, database name, host and port. When I run the test, it connects to the host and port just fine, but it says Authorization Fails (this should not be, as I was just authorized to connect in the shell).
What is going?
There is nothing wrong. Just RoboMongo 0.8.x does not support Mongo 3.0+. You can download 0.9 RC4.
I have a MongoDB database on my Linux server. I want to access it from another server. I tried to make a connection from my local computer with the Robomongo. The connection is succesfull, but the authentication fails.
How can I get the authentication credentials? Or should I change something in MongoDB before I can acces the database from another server / pc?
Someone else have set up this database, and there is no possibility to ask him this questions.
I have found the solution by my self:
The File etc/mongod.conf has a line 'bind_ip'. In this line, you originally have to add the IP address which you want to access your database. But, it don't work! You should better comment this line.
But, you don't have any authentication now, so you have to add authentication. Here you have an tutorial about this: http://ghosttx.com/2012/03/how-to-connect-to-a-remote-mongodb-server-with-mongohub-for-mac/
When you have done that, you have to enable authentication. You can do this by editing etc/mongod.conf again, and uncomment the line 'Auth = true'.
Now you can connect with you Mongo Database ;)
Ive sorted it by adding ssh option to RoboMongo following this link:
http://www.mongovue.com/2011/08/04/mongovue-connection-to-remote-server-over-ssh/
Im on OSX and connecting to Ubuntu 14 / Mongo 2.6.7 on VPS and when Ive added my ssh details to the Robomongo all seem to work ok (Ive also changed the mongo config to remove the ip_bing and enabled port 27017)
If you do not like to bother with authentication and stuff just make an SSH Tunnel:
ssh -fN -l username -i .ssh/id_rsa -L 9999:localhost:27017 remote.com
Just connect to mongodb on localhost:9999 and it will establish a connection to your mongodb on port 27017 on your server at remote.com.
Run your mongodb with following command to access mongodb from other servers
mongod --port 10945 --bind_ip 0.0.0.0
I was not able to use Robomongo with MongoDB 3.0 too (connecting from a Windows machine to a Linux one, using SSH). The only tool that works for me is MongoChef (http://3t.io/mongochef/).
I'm new to MongoDB. I'm trying to connect to my remote mongo database from my work machine( I tried for both mongohq as well as mongolab). I'm getting the error listed below. When I run the same command from my home machine it runs fine and does connect to remove mongo database. I'm not sure what is messed up on my work machine but I'd like to fix it. Thanks for you help.

As per question comments, your mongo shell client can't connect to the mongo instance. Assuming that your internet connectivity is fine, the most common reason for the failure is that the ports are blocked on your network.
Some ISPs automatically block these ports by default as an additional security protection for users that don't need them open. Contact your ISP or network admin, they should be able to help you out.
