posting to an external db

[Phil Au]

Hi I m new to SocketStream

I've been reading the documentation and I was following the part about using an external db api in the main app.js file;

1. // in /app.js
2. var db = require('mydb'),
3. conn = db.createClient();
4.  
5. ss.api.add('db', conn);

I followed this example trying it out with an external redis db server but when I tested it in the server/rpc/example.js file, my program does not recognise ss.db.

I wrote this function in server/rpc/example.js

 ss.db.set("User", user); 

My program then crashes giveing an error of undefined.

It seems my program is not recognising ss.db entirely. I know this because I tested with console.log(ss.db); What may I have been doing wrong?
