I have a mongolabs.com remote DB but when I attempt to create a new DB at mongolabs, assign in user and pass for login, and then modify the server/config.js file to point to the new DB url, startup no longer works. It reports: Error: listen EACCES 0.0.0.0:80 and some other things; I'm guessing there is something here that is hardwired mongodb to a local installation?
Please try yourself and let us know what files need to be touched, and why, because I believe this should be a 1 line, or 1 file change.
Please add this detail to docs, as it's pretty important.. thx. J-
Please make sure your configs are set right. You will need to provide URL to your mongodb Check this out.

You just need to pass your MongoDB connection string (that you got from MongoLab) via
process.env.MONGO_URL. Nothing needs to be changed. If you are getting errors likelisten EACCESS 80, it has something to do with permissions. You need to usesudoin order to listen on port 80.
