Question
I wanted to know how to go about getting a MongoHQ db to work on my localhost installation of Meter.
i tried using the settings.json method or the MONGO_URL=mongodb://user:pass@xxxx.mongohq.com:10061/xxxx
when firing up meteor but both dont work and are probably the wrong way of doing it.
Solution
run it like this in your terminal within your project directory
MONGO_URL=mongodb://user:pass@xxxx.mongohq.com:10061/xxxx meteor
or
export MONGO_URL=mongodb://user:pass@xxxx.mongohq.com:10061/xxxx
meteor
