Calipso has become stuck in install mode. The specific error returned was: failed to connect to [mongodb:27017] about calipso HOT 2 CLOSED

Did you have a config file previous to this or are you using a MONGO_URI environment variable?
MONGO_URI environment variable is the best way to do this, because most deployment systems like heroku or nodejisu use environment variables to defined database connections.
The old config file method is error prone.
Thanks

I am new to mongodb, so spent a bit of time looking at MONGO_URL, but in the end I got it working by using the npm module installation instead of the old install guide.
