[mongoose] Changing default port for connection

[dale tan]

How can i change the default port for a db connection.  Right now it is going to 27017.

i tried

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test', 27020) 

but that doesn't seem to work.

thanks

does
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test:27020')
work?

Thanks Matt.  That makes things clearer, though I'm having issues with my ports still, but i'll work on that.  At least I have a reference now.

Tom, it would be this: 

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27020/test')

Are you starting mongod with that port?  mongod --port 27020

Matt, ya i did that.  I haven't looked into this issue, but I'll continue working on it when I can and then let you know where I ended up.

thanks

so this works 100%:

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27020/test')

Since i'm testing and all my files are complete messes right now, I must have not had the db url defined correctly throughout the different files (yes, should be in one file only). 

thanks for the help
