#A simple Node.JS, Express, and Mongo template for OpenShift This is a simple Node.JS template that uses Express and has mongodb set up. It is all wired to go in OpenShift. I would not reccomend using this for a more complicated application, as there should be more seperation into different files for different logic.

##How to use Assuming you already have an OpenShift account

1. Create a Node.JS application and add a mongo cartridge

   rhc app create -t nodejs-0.6 -a rhc app cartridge add -a -c mongodb-2.0

2. cd into the directory that matches your application name

   cd

3. add this git repository to your application

   git remote add upstream -m master git://github.com/openshift/simple_node_express_mongo.git

4. merge this repository into your application

   git pull -s recursive -X theirs upstream master

5. Modify the code and push back up to your OpenShift gear

   git push

The MongoDB code you want to modify can be found in this line

self.db.collection('names').find().toArray(function(err, names) {}

If you chose to use a different database other than the one named the same as your application you need to change the Auth section as well.

OpenShift has authentication turned on for the database, therefore any connection has to authenticate. By default a connection from the MongoDB driver will try to authenticate against users in the DB you specify.

Please change the Auth line to look like the following so that the authentication uses the OpenShift provided credentials.

self.db.authenticate(self.dbUser, self.dbPass, {authdb: "admin"}, function(err, res){...
