First of all you need to check if mongodb is running and you have no errors.

Then if you are sure your credential (user and password) are right try this:

<?php

$mongo = new Mongo();

$db = $mongo->db_name; //replace db_name with your db name obviously

$username = "myuser";
$password = "mypassword";

$db->authenticate($username, $password);

?>

you should also check the manual: http://php.net/manual/en/mongo.connecting.php

Then, i use Codeigniter too, and there is a really good library for mongodb , simple and fast, using Active Records and all the staffs as for the standard database library of CI. I really suggest you to use that, you can check that here:
