Thank you Jake Foraker ! That took care of the GET error, however my original datas are still not showing and I am still getting this: POST https://fierce-sierra-67905.herokuapp.com/ 404 (Not Found) My connection.js: var mongoose = require("mongoose") mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost/projectbook", (err) => { if(err) { console.log(err) } else { console.log("MongoDB is Connected!") } }) module.exports = mongoose Package.json: ... "scripts": { "start": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost/projectbook node index.js", "start-dev": "nf start -p 3000", "build": "react-scripts build", "test": "react-scripts/test.js --env=jsdom", "eject": "react-scripts eject" }, ... "testEnvironment": "node", "testURL": "http://localhost", ... Am I supposed to deploy my mongodb on a separate heroku deployment? Please pardon my ignorance, Thanks again for your help!
