failed to connect to any given host:port - RoR Error?
- by Sam Hursey
Hi all
I'm very new to Ruby on Rails so please go easy! I've uploaded the whole application to the server (Dreamhost) and gone through the steps. But when I try to run it I get the following error:
failed to connect to any given host:port (Mongo::ConnectionFailure)
I have installed the Mongo gem; but maybe I haven't got it configured correctly? I know you can't use localhost for describing where a Dreamhost mysql database is; might it be something like that?
These are the first five lines of the backtrace if that helps?:
/home/user/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/mongo-0.19.1/lib/../lib/mongo/connection.rb 440 in `connect_to_master'
1 /home/user/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/mongo-0.19.1/lib/../lib/mongo/connection.rb 131 in `initialize'
2 /home/user/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/magent-0.3/lib/magent.rb 19 in `new'
3 /home/user/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/magent-0.3/lib/magent.rb 19 in `connection'
4 /home/user/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/magent-0.3/lib/magent.rb 27 in `database='
5 /home/user/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/magent-0.3/lib/magent.rb 35
Any help much appreciated and apologies for my n00bishness! Thanks.
