You might want to check both the [MongoDB](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mongodb) and the [Mongoose](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mongoose) NPM Repositories for the manual configuration if you are not using Giltch.

2. Once done add the MONGO_URL in .env file and save your path as
|
||||
```` mongodb://<dbuser>:<dbpassword>@ds<PORT>.mlab.com:<PORT>/<DATABASE-NAME> ```` which you copy from mLab. Remember to remove the angle brackets ````< >```` when you replace your username and password of your database.

## Hints
|
||||
|
||||
### Hint #1
|
||||
**Timeout error**
|
||||
|
||||
If the tests are timing out, check the `package.json` file. Ensure the final dependency does not end in a `,`.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, this will result in a timeout error:
|
||||
```
|
||||
"dependencies": {
|
||||
"express": "^4.12.4",
|
||||
"body-parser": "^1.15.2",
|
||||
},
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Hint #2
|
||||
**add MONGO_URI to .env**
|
||||
* Insert a line that looks similar to: `MONGO_URI=mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@<clustername>-vlas9.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true`. `<username>` and `<clustername>` will be automatically generated by MongoDB.
|
||||
|
||||
* Replace `<password>` with your password. There should be no `<>` characters (unless those are in your password).
|
||||
|
||||
Still having issues? Check the below hints:
|
||||
|
||||
* Remove spaces before and after `=`. This is correct: `MONGO_URI=mongodb...`. This is incorrect: `MONGO_URI = mongodb...`
|
||||
|
||||
* Do you have symbols or special characters in your password, e.g. `$&(@`? If so, you will need to translate these into unicode. MongoDB has instructions on how to do this. I would suggest changing your password to be lettes and numbers only for simplicity.
