I downloaded GrandNode with source code and added the published version to IIS. Seems to be working but needs to "install.
I then downloaded mongodb msi and installed it. However, I am struggling to connect GrandNode to my mongodb.

I am very new to mongodb and grandnode. I probably missed someting. Can someone help?

Exception:

Hello,

Please use the localhost as a server, not bernard. I think it's the reason. Port is ok, 27017 is default MongoDB port.

Bernard,

Walk me through your mongo install and configuration steps and I'll try to fill in any gaps.

What i found useful was using the Mongo connection string instead. Which would have been something along the lines of:

mongodb://mydbuser:mydbuserpass@127.0.0.1:27017/mygrandnodedb

Hi Bill,
Thank you for offering to help.
For my mongodb connection string I used my computer name instead of the local ip address.
As soon as I replaced the domain name [computer name] with my local ip address [127.0.01] it installed.
I guess the domain name failed to resolve to the local ip....google search for another day :)

As background:
1. I created mongodb database/user with cmd line as prescribed by mongodb documentation.
2. Published GrandNode to IIS.
3. Browsed to the the local GrandNode url.
4. Provided "installation" details of which the connection string was part of.
5. After changing domain name to local ip it worked.
