mongodb - Running Meteor on localhost fails with RangeError: port should be >= 0 and < 65536: NaN -

i running project on localhost using node , mongodb, fails error try create collection on database.

i building project script:

cd ~/meteor/daily-reminder meteor build ~/build-output-daily-reminder --server=http://localhost cd ~/build-output-daily-reminder tar -xvzf daily-reminder.tar.gz rm daily-reminder.tar.gz cd ~/build-output-daily-reminder/bundle (cd programs/server && npm install) export mongo_url='mongodb://username:password@http://localhost:27017/daily-reminder' export root_url='http://localhost/' export port='3000' echo "now run node main.js" node main.js 

(i use actual mongodb username , password in real code).

the project builds fine, node won't run. generates error:

now run node main.js /home/shelagh/build-output-daily-reminder/bundle/programs/server/node_modules/fibers/future.js:245                         throw(ex);                               ^ rangeerror: port should >= 0 , < 65536: nan     @ socket.connect (net.js:917:13)     @ object.exports.connect.exports.createconnection (net.js:92:35)     @ [object object].connection.start (/home/shelagh/build-output-daily-reminder/bundle/programs/server/npm/mongo/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongodb/connection/connection.js:173:29)     @ _connect (/home/shelagh/build-output-daily-reminder/bundle/programs/server/npm/mongo/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongodb/connection/connection_pool.js:211:16)     @ [object object].connectionpool.start (/home/shelagh/build-output-daily-reminder/bundle/programs/server/npm/mongo/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongodb/connection/connection_pool.js:231:3)     @ server.connect (/home/shelagh/build-output-daily-reminder/bundle/programs/server/npm/mongo/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongodb/connection/server.js:708:18)     @ db.open (/home/shelagh/build-output-daily-reminder/bundle/programs/server/npm/mongo/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongodb/db.js:281:23)     @ connectfunction (/home/shelagh/build-output-daily-reminder/bundle/programs/server/npm/mongo/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongodb/mongo_client.js:275:67)     @ function.mongoclient.connect (/home/shelagh/build-output-daily-reminder/bundle/programs/server/npm/mongo/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongodb/mongo_client.js:345:5)     @ function.db.connect (/home/shelagh/build-output-daily-reminder/bundle/programs/server/npm/mongo/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongodb/db.js:2094:23) 

if use newly-created meteor project node runs ok. fails add line start of js file:

tasks = new mongo.collection("tasks"); 

it seems there problem server tries communicate database. can't see wrong mongo_url: port specified 27017. error, looks port isn't being passed in.

i using node v0.12.7 , mongodb shell version: 2.4.9. have started mongo typing 'mongo' in separate terminal window.

your mongo_url wrong, redefines protocol specify host.

change

export mongo_url='mongodb://username:password@http://localhost:27017/daily-reminder' 

to

export mongo_url='mongodb://username:password@localhost:27017/daily-reminder'
