I'm currently trying to deploy a website built with the Python Flask framework to Webfaction. I've deployed a MongoDB to which I can succesfully connect from the MongoDB interactive interpreter:
[celli@web498 ~]$ mongo localhost:18209/admin
MongoDB shell version: 3.0.2
connecting to: localhost:18209/admin
> db.auth("awesomeusername", "anawesomepassword")
1
When starting the website, it can successfully connect using these credentials in my flask config.py file:
MONGODB_SETTINGS = {
'db': 'tc',
'port': 18209,
'username': 'awesomeusername',
'password': 'anawesomepassword',
}
But when I visit a page which does a query I get the error below. This code works perfectly well on another server, so the mistake lies somewhere in either the setup of my MongoDB instance, or in the connection to it. I also find it strange that setting up the connection works fine, but querying it creates this Authentication failed error.
Any idea how I can fix this? All tips are welcome!
