Error using geddy auth with MongoDB apapter

Question

first of all I'm a noob at Geddy so the answer might be something stupid I forgot, but I keep getting an error while using Geddy auth and MongoDB at the same time; Here's what I did:

geddy app myapp

Then I configured config/development.js to use MongoDB:

var config = {
  detailedErrors: true
, debug: true
, hostname: null
, port: 4000
, model: {
    defaultAdapter: 'mongo'
  }
, db: {
  mongo: {
    dbname: 'myappdb'
  }
}
, sessions: {
    store: 'memory'
  , key: 'sid'
  , expiry: 14 * 24 * 60 * 60
  }
};

module.exports = config;

Finally I installed geddy auth and launched the app:

geddy auth
geddy

When I navigate to localhost:4000/ everything seems to work fine at first, but if I refresh the page or try to create a new user, I get a beautiful Error: 500

Error: 500 Internal Server Error
Error: db object already connecting, open cannot be called multiple times

at Function.obj.first (/usr/lib/node_modules/geddy/node_modules/model/lib/index.js:459:18)

I tried to update geddy using npm and to reinstall the mongo-adapter package but nothing's changed, I'm starting to get really frustrated as I can't find a solution and know it's probably just something simple I'm missing out. Any idea of what is wrong ?

Thanks in advance for the help !

Answer 1

I think that you don't have MongoDB running... To run your Geddy App you need both things, mongodb and geddy server running.

First of all, start your mongo server:

$ mongod

And later launch geddy on your root app directory

$ geddy

Hope that helps
