Thanks for raising.

Q. Did you start a mongo DB? Q. Did you copy the .env.example file to .env and add the mongo url

I did have a bug, that I fixed recently, try pulling the latest changes in nextjs branch

[thamerla]

Thanks for the reply Q. Did you start a mongo DB? -> Yes Q. Did you copy the .env.example file to .env and add the mongo url -> Yes

I already had the newest changes. It turned out that the variable MONGODB_URI wasn't parsed correctly. After adjusting it worked.

How about providing a sample value in .env.example so that the format of the mongodb variable is clear to the developer - i.e. MONGODB_URI=mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017 ?

[eddiejaoude]

Oh, sorry the .env.example is empty 🤦‍♂️ let me put something in there.

Btw I have this in mine...

MONGODB_URI="mongodb://localhost:27017/linkfree"

The new version of the LinkFree project is out now using NextJS and TailWind

I will close this issue, but please feel free to create a new issue if still needed
