Hi,

Following "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSO4vIePxqs&t=1s" video 

I have created a free-tier MongoDB account, and was trying to connect to the environment

But , I am getting error saying connection string invalid "mongodb+srv://dboutsystems:mipmyeznzxhks8q3@cluster0.l5nna.mongodb.net/MyEquipment?retryWrites=true&w=majority" , can anyone please help me with this problem? \

Thankyou

Hello Ritesh,

Is it possible for you to change mongodb+srv to just mongodb in the connection string and try it?

Hello Ritesh,

As per I saw on this URL

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56249526/failed-to-parse-mongodb-uri-mongodb-invalid-host-string-in-uri

changing the name of the file from .env  to .env.local, may be works for you

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Akshay,

I have not used any "env" file for the configuration, I have used site property named connection string

Thankyou

Hello Ritesh Ghate,

Error "connection string invalid" is not something related to outsystems.

You need to verify the connection string created in  MongoDB.

Follow the steps, in the below documents to create a valid connection string.

Hope this helps!

Happy to hear that resolved the connection string issue Ritesh.

As for the time out error, I would recommend starting a new thread and share the error stack / log information from service center please. It will help the community identify the root cause faster. Thanks!

Hello Ritesh,

Please review the following article. In the past I had no issues connecting OutSystems app to MongoDB using the steps listed here:

https://medium.com/@mennohoogsteen/use-a-free-mongodb-with-outsystems-da6135210c28

Some of the screenshots in the article are now a bit different in MongoDB but you will be able to easily negotiate those changes. I believe you are just  missing a step or two for e.g. that part where you set your IP address.

By the way, you are displaying your password in the connection string in your original post. If so please remove it and place a generic <password> tag and additionally recreate a new password.

Regards,

AJ
