Authentication error with mongodb 3.0

[lowi]

I get the error mongo auth failed when trying to use this package.

Although details for the above are scant, I think I'm encountering the same problem. From the logs:

In my case, I'm deploying to galaxy.meteor.com and am using mLab's sandbox DB for my MongoDB store. Authenticating against mongo in other parts of the codebase seems to occur correctly (for example, I can confirm when logging into the db via the command line, all the expected application collections are there).

Any help is gravely appreciated. Thank you.

I'm having exactly the same problem:

I20160412-20:41:34.890(-4)? PID 2192148: Started 5 monq workers.
W20160412-20:41:35.183(-4)? (STDERR) { [MongoError: auth failed] name: 'MongoError', ok: 0, errmsg: 'auth failed', code: 18 }

The DB is otherwise fine, and the app connects to it fine as usual. It's also a sandbox mongo at mLab. What's the best way to try and troubleshoot this? Is there something that needs to be done to ensure that MONGO_URL is propagated to child processes?

I also have this. I think it's something to do with monq and/or mongoskin not supporting Mongo 3.0... Has anyone been able to solve it?

[bluxu]

This seems to be the relevant fix of monq. Interestingly the differential:workers package depends only on the previous release. Updating seems to break the package...

Ah I see - it's fixed in this PR.
