Lab: Configuration File - Run test Issue

[Satya_Naveen_Ponnapalli]

Hi

I was trying to complete a lab “Configuration File” and i am facing an issue with Run Test. I tried to search for the similar issue in the forums but couldn’t find any. Please help me in this matter.

mongod.conf file contains
net:
port: 27000
security:
authorization: enabled

and I ran below command in the terminal
mongod --config mongod.conf

When I click on Run Test it is showing 1 pass and 2 others fail
[3 total, 1 passed, 0 skipped:
[PASS] “The server is running on localhost:27000”
[FAIL] “The server requires authentication”

Don’t forget to launch mongod with authentication enabled!
You can do this using the configuration file.

[FAIL] “Mongod was started with a configuration file”

Did you launch mongod using a configuration file?]

I tried different ways but couldn’t get it right. Please help

Thanks
Naveen

Is your mongod up?Are you able to connect to it
Have you created the user?

Oh yeah my bad, I was literally trying to run the test without creating user.

Thanks for the help Ramachandra !!

The test is now successful.
