This is frustrating. Spent some good hours, but still can't figure it out. Really needing help now.
The issue is. I can access the local db (single) on my Mac Catalia OS, via Roto 3T with user/pwd, but I can't via iTerm2 zsh CLI. I uninstalled and re-installed mongoDB Community Edition 4.4, via brew services (brew install mongodb-community@4.4), still not working. I've been searching online and tried different things, like adding -p pwd, removing --authenticationMechanism, still no luck.
Here is the error message I keep getting. I already modified the /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf to enable authentication. /usr/local/var/mongodb folder exists with files in it. I verified that testuser was successfully created for mongoDB's testdb database, when I disabled the authentication and logged into mongoDB. Of course, since I can log in via Robo 3T, with the same user/pwd, that proves that testuser does exist in mongoDB.
Can you please help? Much thanks in advance!
