Cannot connect to MongoDb through N8N

Describe the issue/error/question

When I try to create a credential to a MongoDb database, I keep getting refused connection. I know the credentials are correct because I use the same connection string in MongoDb Compass and on R:

mongodb://user:password@localhost:27017/?readPreference=secondary

A bit frustating because I do not how to troubleshoot from here, except that I confirmed the connection string works in other enviroments, and turned off all firewalls, just in case. Any ideas on this would be appreciated!

What is the error message (if any)?

connect ECONNREFUSED ::1:27017

Hey @KenupCF,

The machine is saying that the connection is being refused to port 27017 on localhost. Is MongoDB running on the same machines as n8n and neither of them in a docker container?

Hi @Jon,

Sorry for the delay on the reply. Yes, both of them are on the same machine, and none of them on a docker container.

I am happy to report I found a solution. It seems to be a NodeJS issue, and using “0.0.0.0” instead of “localhost” on the connection string solved the issue.
