I’m trying to connect to the MonghDB in chapter 1 - hostname: cluster0-shard-00-00-jxeqq.mongodb.net.
I’m unable to connect and I receive this error message:
self signed certificate in certificate chain
Does anyone know what I can do to get this corrected on my system to allow me to connect?
Thank you!
Hey Victor. The hostname " cluster0-shard-00-00-jxeqq.mongodb.net " is correct. Make sure you didn’t add any period in the end. All The Best.
Thanks for the reply. I didn’t add a period at the end when attempting to connect - I had just added it to the post.

@Victor_48670
Can I ask what is the command you are running to connect? Or is this with Compass?
@natac13 I’m using Compass to connect.

Can you share s screenshot of the connection screen or the variables you are using to attempt the connection that is failing?
Should look like the following:

Well if the password is correct it looks good to me. So I am not really sure how to fix the issue.
I found this post. Which talks about an antivirus blocking files and causing this error.
This post says same thing; that an antivirus program is blocking the files and causing the error.
Maybe those can help.

Hi @Sumanta_02538,
It could be a firewall/network/anti-virus related issue. Please ensure the following :
- You anti-virus is not blocking the request.
- You firewall is not blocking the request.
- Make sure the port 27017 is not blocked on your network by going to this link - http://portquiz.net:27017
