JavaScript execution failed connected to mongoHQ shell

Question

Trying to access MongoHQ directly:

> mongo mongodb://heroku:mypassword@alex.mongohq.com:10046/myapp
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.3
connecting to: mongodb://         


        

Answer 1

Just see if you have $ in your password, in that scenario enclose your password with ' ' then try to connect.

e.g.

mongo mongodb://host:port/authdb -username dbusername -p 'password$123'
