MongoID, Heroku, MongoLab/HQ, w/o addons

I currently want to test out heroku mongoid mongolab/mongohq.

however, i don't want to work with heroku addons, instead, i want to config mongoid to directly use a mongolab/mongohq database via uri oder other settings. However, this doesn't really work out well.

Heres what i've done so far:

rails new test-mongoid --skip-active-record

Gemfile

gem 'mongoid'
gem 'haml'
gem 'sass'

rails g mongoid:config

scaffolded a test model

rails g scaffold Article title:string body:string

mongoid.yml

production:
  host: <%= ENV['MONGOID_HOST'] %>
  port: <%= ENV['MONGOID_PORT'] %>
  username: <%= ENV['MONGOID_USERNAME'] %>
  password: <%= ENV['MONGOID_PASSWORD'] %>
  database: <%= ENV['MONGOID_DATABASE'] %>

other try already did with mongoid.yml

production:
  uri: mongodb://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<database>

filled in with my username password etc.

tested it locally with a mongodb, everything worked fine. pushed it to heroku, does not work.

anyone already did it this way to bypass those heroku addons and know how to handle it?

sincerely, cschaeffler

EDIT

configured my mongoid.yml like this

production:
  sessions:
    default:
      hosts:
        - <server>:<port>
      username: <username>
      password: <password>
      database: <dbname>

seems to be running... but if i try to go to the scaffolded Article index app.herokuapp.com/articles

i get

Add

ruby '1.9.3'

to your Gemfile. From Mongoid 3 + Heroku (MongoHQ) cause Moped::Errors::OperationFailure

You might expect this to just work if you're using Ruby 1.9.3 locally, but no.

In your mongoid.yml:

production:
  host: your_host.mongohq.com
  port: 10078
  username:your_user_name
  password: your_pass
  database: your_db_name

So actually, what you're doing is fine, should just be the values which are invalid or in an improper format
