  Are you running payload locally or on a server?

•

  locally

  
  
  

  Mongo server is online

  Have you added your IP address as well to the allowed IP addresses to access the db

  
  
  

  In network access

  Yea

  
  
  

  Does anyone know of alternative connection methods to mongodb?

  
  
  

  I've started a new Payload project and I'm receiving a different Mongodb error:

  
  

  PS F:\git\TaunDevs\payload> yarn dev
  yarn run v1.22.19
  $ cross-env PAYLOAD_CONFIG_PATH=src/payload.config.ts nodemon
  [nodemon] 2.0.22
  [nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`

  [11:53:30] ERROR (payload): Error: cannot connect to MongoDB. Details: querySrv ENODATA _mongodb._tcp.taundevs.lm9ftk.mongodb.net
  [nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting...

  
  
  

  I'm trying to connect to a different Mongo database that was working with Payload in the past and it's also returning an error:

  
  
  

   [12:03:00] ERROR (payload): Error: cannot connect to MongoDB. Details: querySrv ENODATA _mongodb._tcp.cluster0.zpesqyk.mongodb.net

  
  
  

  Solved temporarily by running locally and configuring the IP :
