I also had a similar issue, and I was able to solve it by adding my white-listing my IP address under Clusters -> security -> IP Whitelist. Instead of clicking my current ip address, just search what’s my ip on google and paste that instead. I hope it works!
Basically you should try connecting with your url link, and specify the DB name on the mongoose connect method so if your cluster link is: mongodb+srv://userName:[email protected]/ and your DB name is: testDB then you should call the mongoose.connect method as follows: mongoose.connect(‘mongodb+srv://userName:[email protected]/’, {dbName: ‘testDB’});
If you’re encountering this error try to use the older connection string for Node.js 2.2.12 or later: mongodb://<username>:<password>@main-shard-00-00-03xkr.mongodb.net:27017,main-shard-00-01-03xkr.mongodb.net:27017,main-shard-00-02-03xkr.mongodb.net:27017/main?ssl=true&replicaSet=Main-shard-0&authSource=admin&retryWrites=true According to MongoDB, SRV is possibly not working due to Mongoose.
just go to mongodb atlas admin panel.Go in security tab>Network Access> Then whitelist your IP by adding it See this image to locate the particular menu Note:Check your IP on google then add it
