title: MongoDB Connection Timing Out
body: <p>I just downloaded Compass to be able to see my database. npm start goes through but the connection times out. I use curl to keep it open. Once everything is running smoothly, I try to connect on Compass and it says the connection is closed.</p>
  
  <p>Here is what I have in my db.js </p>
  
  <pre><code>mongo.connect('mongodb://localhost:3000/Loc8r', {server: {socketOptions: {keepAlive: 3000}}});
  </code></pre>
