Uncaught, unspecified 'error' while running node app

I am a beginner in node.js express.js. (started this morning :-) ) I have included db.js which has my connection details to mongolab and User.js which is my model. Please find the code below.

Db.js

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;

module.exports.mongoose = mongoose;
module.exports.Schema = Schema;

// Connect to cloud database
var username = "Ausername"
var password = "Apassword";
var address = 'Aaddress';
connect();

// Connect to mongo
function connect() {
  var url = 'mongodb://' + username + ':' + password + address;
  mongoose.connect(url);
}
function disconnect() {mongoose.disconnect()}

User.js

var db = require('../lib/db');

var UserSchema = new db.Schema({
    username : {type: String, unique: true}
  , password : String
})

var MyUser = db.mongoose.model('User', UserSchema);

// Exports
module.exports.addUser = addUser;

// Add user to database
function addUser(username, password, callback) {
  var instance = new MyUser();
  instance.username = username;
  instance.password = password;
  instance.save(function (err) {
    if (err) {
      callback(err);
    }
    else {
      callback(null, instance);
    }
  });
}

And when i run node app, it reports the below error

C:\Sripaul\Softwares\NodeJS\Projects\authentication>node app
Express server listening on port 3000

C:\Sripaul\Softwares\NodeJS\Projects\authentication\node_modules\mongoose\lib\utils.js:413

    at Cursor.nextObject.commandHandler (C:\Sripaul\Softwares\NodeJS\Projects\authentication\node_modules\mongoose\node_modules\mongodb\lib\mongodb\cursor.js:441:21)

Code in in app.js is as below

app.post('/signup', function(req, res) {
  var username = req.body.username;
  var password = req.body.password;
  User.addUser(username, password, function(err, user) {
    if (err) throw err;
    res.redirect('/form');
  });  
});

Can someone please help me resolve it?

I know this is an old topic but I solved this problem like that:

in package.json: rather than "mongoose": "2.6.5" make it "mongoose": "*"

then in console (cd /home/yourusername/authentication)

type "npm uninstall mongoose" then type "npm install mongoose"

It seems mongoose 2.6.5 is deprecated version for mongolab

I also had this issue at first using mongolab. Even though you have a mongolab user, you also have to create a database user under the users tab

Faced the similar issue the error message was same however stack trace was different,

/%/node_modules/mongoose/lib/utils.js:413
        throw err;
              ^
TypeError: Uncaught, unspecified "error" event.

    at /%/authentication/node_modules/mongoose/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongodb/cursor.js:441:39

fixed it be removing extra space(as in book) before the address variable in db.js .

var address = ' @dbh42.mongolab.com:27427/nockmarket';

should be (mind the space)

var address = '@dbh42.mongolab.com:27427/nockmarket';

Looks like in mongo lab this problem happened as it cannot connect to the amazon cloud. I tried with Joyent Cloud and it worked fine.
