I have problems with the database when I do a deploy.

I have a mongo DB database that is connected to a node js, to connect to mongo I use the url that mongo gives me: mongodb://mongo:[my-data]@containers-us-west-184.railway.app:5712 the thing is that it creates a database called "test" and not "my data". already used this form: mongodb://mongo:[my-data]@containers-us-west-184.railway.app:5712/my_db but it does not work for me I get this error: MongoServerError: Authentication failed. at Connection.onMessage (/app/node_modules/mongodb/lib/cmap/connection.js:202:26) at MessageStream.<anonymous> (/app/node_modules/mongodb/lib/cmap/connection.js:61:60) at MessageStream.emit (node:events:513:28) at processIncomingData (/app/node_modules/mongodb/lib/cmap/message_stream.js:124:16) at MessageStream._write (/app/node_modules/mongodb/lib/cmap/message_stream.js:33:9) at writeOrBuffer (node:internal/streams/writable:391:12) at _write (node:internal/streams/writable:332:10) at MessageStream.Writable.write (node:internal/streams/writable:336:10) at Socket.ondata (node:internal/streams/readable:754:22) at Socket.emit (node:events:513:28) { ok: 0, code: 18, codeName: 'AuthenticationFailed', connectionGeneration: 0, [Symbol(errorLabels)]: Set(2) { 'HandshakeError', 'ResetPool' } } npm WARN config production Use --omit=dev instead.

Please don’t open more than one help thread Are you using the MONGO_URL reference variable for connecting to your database?

Have you changed your reference from “my data” to “test” to see if it will connect and work for you? Or manually create the database of “my data” or whatever you are trying to call it by clicking the “new database” button?

Can you show me your environment variables in your service (app)

In DB_CONECTION there is this url: mongodb://mongo:[my-data]@containers-us-west-184.railway.app:5712

It would be better to use reference variables, simply because if you roll your credentials, they will automatically update for you in your service… But that’s not the issue here

let me explain, I used this link mongodb://mongo:[my-data]@containers-us-west-184.railway.app:5712/my_db when I did this I got the error because with the "/my_db" it would automatically create the database. using this link without the "/my_db" does work but it does not change the database name, it uses the default "test".

I don’t usually work with Mongo, so, I’m trying to understand everything… without specifying a database name, it will connect to “test” by default, yes. As long as you are calling to the database by the correct name it should work. Are you able to share your repo?

but please also use reference variables like vin has said https://docs.railway.app/develop/variables#reference-variables once you have setup a MONGO_URL reference variable please show another screenshot of your service variables
