weird behavior while installastion in ubuntu (some type of string escaping errors)

[chandanpasunoori]

if installation pass has any forward slash / then installation form not accepting it, and not going further but if it has no forwards slash then it accepting

and even though mongodb url is given correctly its getting error like

5 Dec 19:51:04 - error: Unable to connect to the specified database mongodb://localhost:27017/calipso, the problem was: failed to connect to [mongodb:27017]

Did you install mongo on your server and start it? Alternatively you can
provide a MONGO_URI environment variable. Do you have an old config file or
is there a bug that tries to connect before you can configure the database
url?

well for mongo its ok for professional user can work on but not normal user

I have installed already

but what about installation password error ...?

did you checked it?

The installation password is not and error. Basically when you go to the site it will ask for an installation password which has to be the one in the application's log. What do you mean "normal user"? Calipso only runs when it's connected to a mongodb instance. The password protects you from someone else setting up your site when you're hosting it. Only the person that has access to the console log will know the password.
Does that make sense or are you still stuck?
Thanks

I have recently seen some kind of / to / conversion in other places as well. I wonder if this is node version specific. I just resolve a similar problem with the installation password by changing it to hex string. I don’t know where an how this conversion is happening.

This was due to a html escape cleanup merged in june. I undid this changed and published.
I am not quite sure what the author wanted to escape fields of type "text" for so I asked what the original reason was so that we can determine whether it makes sense to create a new field type for text that gets escaped or a new field type for text that doesn't get escaped. Thanks for notifying me.
