I'm learning Node.js + mongodb using a simple tutorial - the problem is that I can't get it to save().
This is the code I'm running:
mongoose = require('mongoose'),
Schema = mongoose.Schema;
PostSchema = new Schema({
title: String,
body: String,
date: Date
});
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/posterdb');
mongoose.model('Post', PostSchema);
var Post = mongoose.model('Post');
// create a post and save it
var post = new Post();
post.title = 'My first post';
post.body = 'Post body';
post.date = Date.now();
post.save(function(err) {
console.log('error check');
if(err) { throw err; }
console.log('saved');
mongoose.disconnect();
});
It doesn't print anything on the console. Any ideas?

1Does the connection get established? Try the event mongoose.connection.on("open", function() { ... }).

Hmm, interesting. It doesn't get established. mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/posterdb', function(err){ console.log(err); }); Prints : { stack: [Getter/Setter], arguments: undefined, type: undefined, message: 'failed to connect to [localhost:27017]' }

1Are you sure the server is running at that host and port?

Indeed, the server wasn't running. Had no data directory by default. Thanks!

Turns out my mongodb server wasn't running because I didn't have a /data/db directory installed by default upon installing mongo in ubuntu. Created that, started the server, everything worked fine. Solved.
If anyone found this question for the same reason I did, then maybe this will help:
Found that I couldn't save a new object to my collection. I had made a schema method named validate() which interfered with MongoDB's validate() function, so that's why it wasn't saving to the DB and was giving me zero errors. So don't name a method in your schema entitled validate(). Hopefully my dumbness will save you a lot of time.
