I am trying to connect my Django application with the Atlas MongoDB cloud database using Djongo. The setting file database section is,

DATABASES = {
       'default': {
           'ENGINE': 'djongo',
           'NAME': 'mydb',
           'HOST': 'mongodb+srv://user:' + urllib.parse.quote_plus('password') + '@xx-xxxxx.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority',
           'USER': 'user',
           'PASSWORD': 'password',
       }
   }

But after running python manage.py migrate, it is throwing the following error,

File "manage.py", line 21, in <module>
    main()
  File "manage.py", line 17, in main

    raise ServerSelectionTimeoutError(
pymongo.errors.ServerSelectionTimeoutError: localhost:27017: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

If you look at the last line it says that pymongo is trying to connect localhost:27017. But the host is already mentioned. As there is no localhost so it is getting the connection failure.

Now, I opened the mongo_client.py inside C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Lib\site-packages\pymongo and found the following snippet of code,

class MongoClient(common.BaseObject):
    """
    A client-side representation of a MongoDB cluster.

    Instances can represent either a standalone MongoDB server, a replica
    set, or a sharded cluster. Instances of this class are responsible for
    maintaining up-to-date state of the cluster, and possibly cache
    resources related to this, including background threads for monitoring,
    and connection pools.
    """
    HOST = "localhost"
    PORT = 27017
    # Define order to retrieve options from ClientOptions for __repr__.
    # No host/port; these are retrieved from TopologySettings.
    _constructor_args = ('document_class', 'tz_aware', 'connect')

    def __init__(
            self,
            host=None,
            port=None,
            document_class=dict,
            tz_aware=None,
            connect=None,
            type_registry=None,
            **kwargs):

As per the overview the default HOST is never overloaded. Therefore it is always searching for localhost. Now, if I change localhost to 'mongodb+srv://user:password@xx-xxxxx.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority', the connection works correctly.

Now, definitely it is not the solution indeed. Can anyone throw some light on it?

The configuration pattern is changed but not mentioned in the official document,

DATABASES = {
       'default': {
           'ENGINE': 'djongo',
           'NAME': 'ezlistmongo',
           'CLIENT': {
              'host': 'mongodb+srv://user:' + urllib.parse.quote_plus('password') + '@xx-xxxxx.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority',
              'port': 27017,
              'username': 'user',
              'password': 'password',
            }
       }
   }

Answer courtesy Joe. This works perfectly.
