I also need help setting up the config and connecting mongo db, your tutorial wasn't too understanding for me and got me confused.

I am also not sure how to connect discord api and stuff

[terriblecoder1]

Now its working for me but I want to know how to access my mongodb cluster so I can view my website

[Sank6]

The Discord creds are self explanatory. You just need thr information from the developer page on Discord. For MongoDB, if you're self hosting, use mongodb://localhost:PORT/DATABASE_NAME. If you're using an external one, like Atlas, it gives you the connection string to put in your config file.

I already connected to the database of mongodb now I can't access my site, the config file is already done.

[Sank6]

Try localhost

[terriblecoder1]

I did just now, the site itself isn't showing up at all. is there a way to deploy this thing? I followed all the steps in the wiki help, I connected to the mongodb database too and when I viewed the site it just shows me my files... something has to be wrong.

[Sank6]

If it's showing you your files, then you're not actually running it. To "deploy" it, run npm start

[terriblecoder1]

I did npm start https://gyazo.com/83564c17c3b7dd303c5eac043a40593a this is what it shows. it says connected to the database and it shows my mongodb url which I did not show in the screenshot due to privacy reasons.

[Sank6]

Then it's running on port 80.

[terriblecoder1]

so what am I supposed to do now?

[Sank6]

It should be accesible on localhost

[terriblecoder1]

I tried still not working

Guys this is not an issue with code or the bott list this error occurs because u didn't validate your ip address in mongodb cluster that's why it refuse to connect.

[Sank6]

It's something related to your setup but if it says it's running on port 80, it should be working. I guess you can try changing the port but I don't know what else could cause this issue.

[Zaid-maker]

The most common port for mongo is 2271 I think

[Zaid-maker]

instead of using localhost thing use connection string through mongodb compass

[Sank6]

I think his issue is with accessing the site, not the mongodb connection

[Zaid-maker]

yeah maybe

[terriblecoder1]

Yeah it is with accessing the site, the mongodb is connected. I followed all the steps and it still doesn't let me access the site :(

[terriblecoder1]

Already found a new project that works, I am just going to close this. thank you guys.
