Tell us what’s happening:
I’ve set up a .env file and have added code in my server.js file to pass this task yet I’m getting a connection error from mongo.
The DB is set and ready to go in mLab, it has a user (listed as a db owner) and I’ve checked the username + password are correct in the string declared over at the .evn file, but I still can’t seem to get past this.
Has anyone stumbled upon a similar error?
Log text is as such: Database error: MongoParseError: URI malformed, cannot be parsed
