When deploying to heroku, mongodb by mlab url is not set to DATABASE_URI #49

Closed vmlinz closed 8 years ago

vmlinz commented 8 years ago

Cause:

When deploying to heroku, mongodb env of mlab is named MONGODB_URI, but the parse server expects url from DATABASE_URI. So users will encounter error access to mongodb from localhost of heroku app, this makes client not able to read or write any data.

Solution:

  1. Manually set DATABASE_URI to content of MONGODB_URI
  2. Try read MONGODB_URI when deploying to heroku

After reading the source code of index.js,

The real cause of the issue might be the name change of mlab mongodb env name from MONGOLAB_URL to MONGODB_URL.
