Node-red crash after installing unified red

[Antoine Debienne]

Hi everyone,

On fresh new instalation of node-red, (just add unified-red pallette)

After installing unified-red node-red crash after this message :

[error] MongooseError: Operation `roles.findOne()` buffering timed out after 10000ms

    at Timeout.<anonymous> (/Users/USERNAME/.node-red/node_modules/unified-red/node_modules/mongoose/lib/drivers/node-mongodb-native/collection.js:198:23)

I saw the "Error after installing unified-red" with the same issue, but in my case it's appear even before instaling mongodb

Any idea

Thank for your help

Antoine

Hi Antoine, 

unified-red is timing out after trying to connect to MongoDB. Please confirm that MongoDB is running and accessible. 

After installing unified-red (whether via palette manager or npm), Node-RED will display a setup wizard to complete installation/configuration of unified-red. You can configure the MongoDB (or sqlite) connection string there.

If you need additional help, please provide more information about your environment (OS, versions of OS, node, mongodb, etc)
