[SOLVED] Mongoid Moped could not resolve IP address for... remote MongoDB

Mongoid Moped could not resolve IP address for... remote MongoDB

I can connect just fine to a local MongoDB, but when I try connecting to either MongoHQ or DotCloud instance using Ruby Mongoid, then I get the above error message.

I'm using Ruby 1.9.3 and Moped 1.5.2.

I can connect to MongoHQ and DotCloud DBs using MongoHub Mac client.

I've tried using irb to debug by doing the following:

> require 'Mongoid'
> class Page
>   include Mongoid::Document
>   field :title, type: String
>   end

> Mongoid.sessions = {default: {hosts: ["mongodb://<username>:<password>@troup.mongohq.com:10067"], database: "test"}}

> hello = Page.new
> hello.title = "Try this."
> hello.save

This results in the "Could not resolve IP..." error message.

Do you know what I'm missing. Or any tips for debugging this issue?

Thanks

Solution

Change this line

Mongoid.sessions = {default: {hosts: ["mongodb://<username>:<password>@troup.mongohq.com:10067"], database: "test"}}

to and give your username and password below

Mongoid.sessions = {default: {uri: ["mongodb://<username>:<password>@troup.mongohq.com:10067/test"]}}

if you are going to hosts, in that uri hosts is troup.mongohq.com:10067 port is 10067, database test and for authentication username and password...
