Hi @Aditya_Kawale_09064,

Please check for the following things:

  • Make sure you are using the correct username and password (It is recommended to use the same credentials as mentioned in the course as it is easy to remember throughout the course duration).

  • Do not copy and paste the credentials as it would add extra space.

  • Make sure you are using the correct connection parameters, as mentioned in the lectures/labs.

Unless you are not spinning a cluster of your own, please refer to the Lecture : Connecting to MongoDB using Compass in Chapter 1 Introduction and use the exact same parameters.

If you still face any problem, please let me know.

Thanks,
Sonali

Your firewall or your network is not letting your traffic outside. Try to connect from another location or disable your firewall.

Hi @Umamaheshwari_71188,

As @steevej-1495 mentioned, please make sure you are not behind a firewall or using your office network (VPN connection). Try connecting from your home network.

You can also refer this great post by @Kanika on Compass connection issue.

If the issue still persists, feel free to get back to us. Happy Learning :slight_smile:
