How to connect to external MongoDB instance in Meteor?

by

In my own experience; I have needed to set the environment variable before starting the meteorjs server app. To do this you will need to pass the environment variable on the command-line as you invoke meteor or preset the environment for the profile that is running the meteor app on your system.

So you would start your app with this kind of a command:

MONGO_URL='mongodb://user:[email protected]:12345/' meteor

You should also make sure that the mongodb is reachable and that your user credentials are correct! I am assuming you are trying to run meteor on your local machine using a remote mongodb instance.

On Windows

You will have to create a batch file in your meteor application folder to invoke the environment variable. There is an example of this here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/29833177/1997579
