Openshift mongodb url

Question

I'm getting the following error:

Uncaught exception 'MongoConnectionException'

with message

'Failed to connect to: :0: Connection refused'

When I use the url given by openshift:

$m =new MongoClient("mongodb://$OPENSHIFT_MONGODB_DB_HOST:$OPENSHIFT_MONGODB_DB_PORT/");

I have tried various including

$m =new MongoClient("mongodb://admin:<password here >@$OPENSHIFT_MONGODB_DB_HOST:$OPENSHIFT_MONGODB_DB_PORT/");

I can connect through rockmongo so MongoDB is running ok

Answer 1

"mongodb://$OPENSHIFT_MONGODB_DB_HOST:$OPENSHIFT_MONGODB_DB_PORT/" is a string.

You can access the environment variable using $_ENV array.

$dburl = $_ENV['OPENSHIFT_MONGODB_DB_URL'];

$m = new MongoClient($dburl);
