build issue

[kekekeke8]

hello, could you give some tips how to run your porect. correctly? I use "npm instal","npm run build", and "npm run serve". But I encountered many problems. Could you give me some advice?

Hi thank you for showing interest in my past project LOL. First just make sure that npm install and npm start works.
It seems like you have to create a .env file in the root folder to make the project works correctly. If you can screenshot error I can help you.

Create a .env file and put in the root folder (same directory as package.json). THE DB_URI option here is my database in mlab (mongoDB). You can go to mlab.com to create your own database and change the connection. Feel free to ask any questions.

Thanks for reply. I use the way you provide -- "create .env file that contains information you give"
. And I use "npm install", "npm run build", and "node dust/app.js" command, the results as below.

And then I try to visit "127.0.0.1:3000", the website reminds me the information as below.

As you said, I want to create my own database to test. I have registered the lab, but I do not know how to create database file that meet the project need, could you provide this instructive step for me?

You should try: http://localhost:3000.
And for mlab, you dont need to create database file or anything. Just create a new database and there will be a connection link like this:

Go to Users tab and create a new user. Replace dbuser and dbpassword with what you just created.

Thanks for help. It seems that mlab does not accept registering now. The new web site is https://cloud.mongodb.com/. I have registered this, and create a new instance named "Cluster0",
and I use below to test connecting but it failed.

SESSION_SECRET=cat
DB_URI=mongodb+srv://user:[email protected]/test

Thanks for your help again, I have solved this step. Now I can connect to"https://cloud.mongodb.com/".

I confuse that I could not delete the database , and i could not operate the database online via ""https://cloud.mongodb.com/"". I believe it is similar to the old version mlab. I could not see anything
about the database online. I feel it just like a online machine.
