using a mongoose.connect() to connect to a mongodb instance on ec2

My app is trying to establish a connection to a mongoDB on EC2 with the command:

mongoose.connect("mongodb://username:[email protected]:27017/databasename")

I have port 27017 and 28017 open on the server. Just to verify I also have all traffic open as well, which is not a good idea.

I am also able to connect via mongo with no problem:

mongo admin --username username -p --host ec2-xx-xxx-x-xxx.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com --port 27017

When I run the app I get the following error: 

/home/ubuntu/workspace/website.com/appname/node_modules/mongoose/node_modules/mongodb/lib/utils.js:99
process.nextTick(function() { throw err; });
                              ^

It seems that you didn't create an user for the database you're trying to connect. I will to connect MongoDB using the admin user and create it:

mongo admin --username root --password rootpassword --host ec2-xx-xxx-x-xxx.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com --port 27017

MongoDB shell version: XXX
connecting to: x.x.x.x:27017/admin

> db = db.getSiblingDB('databasename')
databasename
> db.createUser( { user: "username", pwd: "password", roles: [ "readWrite", "dbAdmin" ]} )
{
 "user" : "username",
 "pwd" : "...",
 "roles" : [
  "readWrite",
  "dbAdmin"
 ],
 "_id" : ObjectId("...")
}
> exit
