Hi Ethan,

I'm learning node.js with your awesome book. unfortunately I stuck in chapter 13, regarding mongo DB connection.

I'm getting "MongoError: failed to connect to server [localhost:27017] on first connect" every time I attempt to run server on my local machine.

I've connected to hosted DB with URL provided by mlab console. do you have any clue what is causing this issue?

Can you share the connection string you're using? You can redact the username/password information (just show it as user:**** or whatever).

Hi Ethan,

Fortunately it was just typo mistake.. guess I should be more patient before raising issue here..!
