MongoDB won't connect to MongoHQ using Mongoid

Question

I\'ve just started a brand new rails project and the first task I\'m trying to complete is creating an object and having it save within my database. I went through the auto

Answer 1

This is how my production mongoid.yml looks like

<% if ENV['MONGOLAB_URI'] %>
  <% uri = URI.parse(ENV['MONGOLAB_URI']) %>
production:
  <<: *defaults
  sessions:
    default:
      <<: *default_session
      database: <%= uri.path.sub('/','') %>
      username: <%= uri.user %>
      password: <%= uri.password %>
      hosts:
        - <%= uri.host %>:<%= uri.port %>
<% end %>

and this works for me
