Install plugins forum connect mongodb

[Ng_c_S_n_Tr_n (Ngọc Sơn Trần)]

Hello everyone,

I’m currently exploring the process of setting up a discussion forum. I have a server that contains my MongoDB data. I’ve installed forum plugins to enable the discussion functionality. I ran the command “tutor local launch” but when it comes to the forum connecting to MongoDB, I encountered an " Authentication failed" error.

I’m certain that my user has the necessary access privileges because I can still interact with my MongoDB server without any issues, even without the forum plugins.

Could anyone help me with this? Thank you!

Maybe this is related to the auth source?

can you access lms2019 with the user funixLMSUser using admin as the authentication database?

You can configure the authentication database with the MONGODB_AUTH_SOURCE variable which defaults to admin.

Hello @MoisesGonzalezS ,
Thank you for your assistance. I have created a user in MongoDB with admin privileges and it was successful. However, I am encountering an error:

I tried running “tutor local init” again, but it still doesn’t work. On the MongoDB server, I removed

security:
authorization: enabled

in file mongod.conf, and it was successful. However, there is an issue that if I remove security, my MongoDB server will be left unprotected. How can I resolve this situation?

I appreciate your help.
