has no method 'connect'

[James C.]

Hello,
I can't seem to connect to MongoDB. So to create a connection I'm
running:


var mongoose = require('mongoose').Mongoose,
db = mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/db');

And I keep getting back:


TypeError: Object function Mongoose() {
this.connections = [];
this.plugins = [];
this.models = {};
this.modelSchemas = {};
this.options = {};
this.createConnection(); // default connection
} has no method 'connect'

Perhaps my url is incorrect or Mongoose is not configured properly.
I have installed everything via npm and am running osx 10.6. Any
insight would greatly be appreciated.

The latest version doesn't require you to use ('mongoose').Mongoose. Just use require('mongoose')

That should fix your problem!
