Connect to mongodb instance from my ap

[Gabriel Majivu]

I have run into a problem. I had a problem with my computer and accidentally forced a shut down of my computer. Now this has brought problems with my mongodb instance. I have followed steps here http://stackoverflow.com/a/16877505/645458 and resolved the shell connection. But apparently, I still cannot connect when I run my app. I get an error message: Connection error Error: failed to connect to [undefined:27017]

I can connect from the shell though. I haven't changed any code, so I am not sure what could be causing this problem.

Kindly assist.

Since it says “failed to connect to [undefined:27017]”, it looks as if your hostname variable is undefined. I would suggest making sure you are passing in the correct (defined) hostname to mongoose.connect().

Yeah you got a point. I tried directly with the mongodb URI string and it worked. I have implemented my code with the module nconf to manage environment vars. It seems it is breaking and returns the undefined instead of the required string. So I have to find the bug.

Thanks for your help, Jason.
