Error : No unix socket support on windows connecting mongodb

Try inserting only e.g: ds12345.mlab.com at address bar instead of full [http:// mongodb://<dbuser>:<dbpassword>@...] and create user to authenticate in mlab.com and then try connect to it. Something like this:

And then:

I had the same issue and was able to fix it by removing the full url (for example: mongodb://myuser:[email protected]/my_database) in the connection tab and only putting in the mongodb server url: mongodb-test.mydomain.com.

Next, in the Authentication tab, I checked the Perform authentication checkbox, specified the Database, user name, password.

I also added the database in the Advanded tab just in case and I can now connect without error.
