How do I initialize the DB?

[leoplusx]

Thanks for the great repository, Chris!

I'm getting an error when I try to sign up as a new user:

File "/var/www/convers.ai/python/flask-mongo-app/run.py", line 118, in register
    users = mongo.db.users
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'users'

I've never worked with MongoDB before. But I suspect it's because my database is empty, i.e. has no columns?

Any command I need to run in order to initialize the database?

The DB itself seems to be working. I successfully ran this:

from pymongo import MongoClient
client = MongoClient(host = ["127.0.0.1:27017"])
client.server_info()

Hi there. Thanks for your message. The live demo uses a MongoDB Atlas service. You might need to set up a free account at MongoDB Atlas to get access to your own database. It should work fine from there.

I have not set up a MongoDB server locally yet, so I’m not sure how to get that to work. As you say, it PyMongo’s MongoClient seemed to connect, I would have thought it was working.

I’ll try this later. Let me know how you get on if you have time.

Thanks again

Chris

Hi @leobaumgardt did you get this working? I'm just following up on previous issues. Thanks Chris

Thanks for your update. Is it working as expected for you now?
