title: NodeJs Mongoose + Mongo, connecting to localhost
body: <p>I just updated to node 0.5.10 from 0.4.11 and my version of mongoose from 2.0.2 to 2.3.13 however I can no longer connect to localhost. My code has not changed at all, and I can still connect to my production server on mongolab. I can connect to my local db using a gui (MongoHub) just going through localhost. I am now running out of ideas. I've tried variations on the following connection strings which both should work in my option. </p>
  
  <pre><code>mongodb://localhost:27017/mydb
  mongodb://localhost/mydb
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have even created a very basic single app to just save something to my localhost but to no avail. Ideas are very welcome!</p>
  
  <pre><code>var mongoose = require('mongoose');
  var db = mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/SomeDb');
  
  var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
  var Posts = new Schema({
    name : String,
  });
  mongoose.model('Post', Posts);
  
  function createNewPost(){
      var Post = mongoose.model('Post');
      var post = new Post({name:'new name'});
      post.save(function(err){
        console.log("saving");
          if(!err){
              console.log('Post saved.');
          }
      });
  }
  </code></pre>
