Issue Connecting to MongoDB with Go (mgo): "No Reachable Servers"

[SEMIA GUESMI]

Dears,

Hi,

I have a question regarding the MongoDB package for Go (mgo).

I have installed MongoDB and confirmed that it is running. However, when I try to connect to it using Go, I consistently get the following error: "No reachable servers"

I would appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this issue.

Best,

Semia

package main

import (

"fmt"

"log"

"gopkg.in/mgo.v2"

)

func main() {

fmt.Println("Attempting to connect to MongoDB...")

session, err := mgo.Dial("mongodb://localhost:27017")

if err != nil {

log.Fatal("MongoDB connection failed: ", err)

}

defer session.Close()

fmt.Println("MongoDB connected successfully!")

}

Hello Semia,

The mgo library you’re referencing has this text at top of the repository:

The MongoDB driver for Go. UNMAINTAINED - SEE BELOW

The implication of that statement is that the library may not work for newer versions of MongoDB and the error you’re experiencing could be a result of that. 

The package author recommends other packages to use listed in the repository such as a community fork of mgo.

Another recommended solution is to use the official Go driver for MongoDB at 

https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-go-driver

The official documentation has a guide for connecting to MongoDB here 

https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/go/current/fundamentals/connections/connection-guide/

Kind regards, 

Uzondu
