M002 - Unable to connect to Sandbox cluster from Mongoshell

Kiran_Nelapudi_59534 · March 5, 2021, 9:19am

Hi,

I am trying to connect to the Sandbox cluster from the Mongo shell but I keep hitting the following error.

C:\Users\kiran>mongo “mongodb+srv://sandbox-rnm7l.mongodb.net/test” --username m001-student
MongoDB shell version v3.4.14
connecting to: mongodb://mongodb%2Bsrv:/%2Fsandbox-rnm7l.mongodb.net%2Ftest
2019-07-22T21:08:34.297-0400 E QUERY [thread1] Error: No digits :
connect@src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:240:13
@(connect):1:6
exception: connect failed

I have used the following command to connect and I have created Sandbox cluster(please refer to the screenshot below).

mongo “mongodb+srv://sandbox-rnm7l.mongodb.net/test” --username m001-student

I am able to connect with your string
Did you give password when it prompted
Make sure no spaces/invalid characters while cut & pasting commands/password

Your current MongoDB shell version is 3.4. But your connection string is for 3.6 or later. I’ll suggest you to check the step1 “Select your Mongo Shell version”, and select the correct version

Hi @Kiran_Nelapudi_59534,

As mentioned by @ziqi_32189, you are using MongoDB shell version v3.4.14 in your system but you are using the connection string which is for MongoDB shell version 3.6 or later.

Please follow the steps mentioned below to get the correct connection string for your shell version.

In your sandbox cluster, select the 3.4 or earlier option from the dropdown and then copy the string at the bottom to connect to your sandbox cluster.

If you still have any query, feel free to get back to us. Happy Learning

Hi! I have the same problem I can’t connect to the sandbox cluster from the shell using the recommended line command: mongo “mongodb+srv://sandbox-zyvd3.mongodb.net/test” --username m001-student

Ramachandra_Tummala · July 24, 2019, 3:13am

What error you are getting?
I am able to connect with your string
Please follow above steps about version of shell vs version of string

Marcos_33957 · July 24, 2019, 9:03am

Hi!
I am receiving the following message:
2019-07-24T10:58:09.455+0200 E QUERY [js] SyntaxError: missing ; before statement @(shell):1:6

And the line command that I am using is:
mongo “mongodb+srv://sandbox-zyvd3.mongodb.net/test” --username m001-student

Natac13 · July 24, 2019, 9:15am

I can connect with that command as long as the quotes are changed from that fancy font.

What version on the shell are you using?

mongo --version

Marcos_33957 · July 24, 2019, 9:27am

Hi!
The version is: v4.0.10

Shubham_Ranjan · July 24, 2019, 10:52am

Hi @Marcos_33957,

This error means that you are already connected to some mongod instance and you are inside the mongo shell.

To verify this you can exit out of the mongo shell by using the quit command and then use your connection string to connect to your sandbox cluster.

quit()

If you still have any issue, feel free to get back to us. Happy Learning

Thank!.. That was the problem… I was starting the mongo shell and I were direct connected to the preview DB M001 RS. I should start direct from the command line window cmd.

Thank you Shubham! After I selecting the correct MongoDB shell version I get the following error.

Hi Shubham,

I was able to connect to the cluster. The issue was with my wifi network.

Thanks,

Hola no me puedo conectar con mongo shell

Do not but spaces between after the commas. Better yet is to put the URL is quotes.

Lo siento, no habla español.
