[ChumburidzeGio]

Hello,

I have installed it with Laravel 5.1 and got error during sign up Database [mongodb] not configured., but when i tried to connect to Mongo from routes
$connection = new MongoClient("mongodb://user:pass@localhost/db"); print_r($connection);
its working...
Whats my problem and how to solve it ?

Have you put the configuration under the connections key in config/database.php

'mongodb' => array(
    'driver'   => 'mongodb',
    'host'     => 'localhost',
    'port'     => 27017,
    'username' => 'username',
    'password' => 'password',
    'database' => 'database',
    'options' => array(
        'db' => 'admin' // sets the authentication database required by mongo 3
    )
),

If so, try: dd(DB::connection('mongodb')->collection('potato')->get()); It should return []. _Note: ensure …connection( [THIS KEY] )->… matches the connection config key._

I had this problem at first, because I had a typo in my model's protected $connection attribute.

Just rebuild your config cache:
artisan config:cache

(leave the mongodb connection inside your connections array, as it is supposed to be).
