Fully specified hostname required to run a script

[Glenn Sills]

I have written a very short Javascript file to do some updates on the server. The file looks like:

db = db.getSiblingDB('database');

db.MerchantInfo.update({merchantId:236066},{$set:{listingLogo:"foo.jpg"}});

db.MerchantInfo.update({merchantId:220420},{$set:{listingLogo:"bar.jpg"}});

db.MerchantInfo.update({merchantId:5908682},{$set:{listingLogo:"voobar.jpg"}});

db.MerchantInfo.update({merchantId:5284}, {$set:{listingLogo:"blaa.jpg"}});

I run command "Mongo hostname <script.js" and I get the following message for each update line:

 

not authorized on database to execute command { update: \"MerchantInfo\"

This seems weird to me because authentication is turned on yet and besides I can run each update in a shell just fine using no credentials. So I try the command ""Mongo hostname.mydomain.com <script.js" and the script runs just fine. What gives.

I am running a 2.6.4 Windows install against a 2.4 Linux server.

If you say

"mongo foobar" that does not take foobar as a hostname - it assumes
it's the database name.

If you want to specify hostname either use --host or specify mongo
hostname:port/dbname
