Mongoose is not connected in MongoDB and Mongoose - Install and Set Up Mongoose

I got the message said that the mongoose is not connected, but complete 2nd and 3rd challenge.

my .env file is like this:

SECRET=
MADE_WITH=
MONGO_URI=mongodb://AndrewFan:DD159357ddmdMLAB@ds018558.mlab.com:18558/freecodecamp_project;

my packge.json:

I add this code in myApp.js:

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URI);

please help me to check how I got the error message.
Thanks!

OK,

I have not done the new sections on this, but…

When I try to connect to your mLab DB, I get an error. Running this script:

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

mongoose.connection.on("open", function(ref) {
  console.log("Connected to mongo server.");
});

mongoose.connection.on("error", function(err) {
  console.log("Could not connect to mongo server!");
  return console.log(err);
});

// const mongoURI = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/test';
// const mongoURI = 'mongodb://user123:password123@ds125932.mlab.com:25932/dbtest';
const mongoURI = 'mongodb://AndrewFan:DD159357ddmdMLAB@ds018558.mlab.com:18558/freecodecamp_project';

const db = mongoose.connect(mongoURI, { useNewUrlParser: true });

I get this error:

Could not connect to mongo server!

Keep in mind that I’m running in my local environment, but if that is a valid mLab DB and a valid URL. To test it, I also connected locally to a running Mongo server and to a test mLab DB I created. Both of those connect fine.

That tells me that there is either a problem with your mLab account, with that specific mLab DB, or the DB URL is not correct.

Yes you are right, I put the wrong password, the account password instead of the user password. I changed it and I passed now.
Thank you!
