Unable to connect to MongoDB compass.
Error message says “Could not connect to MongoDB on provided host and Port”
Hi there,
Could you please provide us with a screenshot of your connection criteria in the Compass UI?
Thanks,
Barry
I am able to connect
Are you able to connect from mongo shell?
Please check this
About the Chapter 1: Compass Connection [Solution]
I noticed that you have not checked the SRV Record option in the Compass UI.
Atlas uses DNS SRV records to simplify the connection string when connecting to a replica set.
Please check this option and try again.

Hi, I am also facing same issue, even after checking the SRV Record option, it is showing another error MongoDB not running on the provided host and port .
Hi KodeKracker,
I see you have pasted host
twice in your Hostname textbox. Secondly, if you have SRV on, use this string in your host please: “cluster0-jxeqq.mongodb.net”.

Thanks @Kanika for pointing out the error in typing value in Hostname field.
It is workin now even for host value cluster0-shard-00-00-jxeqq.mongodb.net as given in
