mongoid/mongodb and rake task authorization in production/passenger

When trying to run rake db:seed on my app, I get the error:

Database command 'count' failed: {"assertion"=>"unauthorized db:app_development lock type:-1 client:127.0.0.1", "assertionCode"=>10057, "errmsg"=>"db assertion failure", "ok"=>0.0}

I get the same error with db:drop

Mmy app is connecting to the DB fine, it's just these rake taks are failing, and I'm not sure wh. I dont think seeding should need admin privileges. Maybe it's a passenger issue?

Solution

  • You need to have the username and password set in mongoid.yml for rake tasks to be able to connect to your database.

    Example:

    production:
  host: host-name
  port: 27017
  username: itsmeyo
  password: supasecret
  database: project_production

    You can also have them set in environment variables, but they need to be set.

    password: <%= ENV['MONGOID_PASSWORD'] %>
