I believe you are using your MongoLab's username & password for connecting to your database.

You should define a username & password for your database in MongoLab control panel

for example I have a database named 'test', after login to Mongolab I'll go to https://mongolab.com/databases/test#users and add new username and password for 'test' database

username: hamid, password:zzzz.

the connection for test database my mongolab will be

mongodb://hamid:[email protected]:53438/test

enter image description here

Updated: Test your connection via robomongo

Connect to mongolab via robomongo

Step 1: create new connection

enter image description here

Step 2: enter your address ds063200.mongolab.com and 61200 as your port

enter image description here

Step 3: enter flights as your database and your database user and password ('not mongolab user and password)

it's just a guess since i never used mongoose so far - but i can't seem to find a connection string with a callback in the mongoose docs: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/connection-string/

so maybe the connection function doesn't support a callback and you are just fine with this:

mongoose.connect('mongodb://myuser:[email protected]:61200/flights');
