Server never starts

[sbehrens]

Hello,

I have followed the setup guide and I cannot get the server to start. The console output is below

sbehrens@lgml-sbehrens ~/tutorials/NodeGoat$ grunt run                                                                                                             master ‹system›
Running "jsbeautifier:files" (jsbeautifier) task
Beautified 39 files, changed 0 files...OK

Running "jshint:all" (jshint) task
>> 32 files lint free.

Running "concurrent:tasks" (concurrent) task
Running "nodemon:dev" (nodemon) task
Running "watch" task

Mondod is running, database is created, the environment file was also updated. Any ideas on what may be going on?

The build seems to be stable. Here are few options to troubleshoot issue you are facing:

1. (To check if issue with grunt setup) Start server as node server.js instead of grunt run
2. (To check if issue with local db setup) If that doesn't help, try connecting to remote DB by commenting db property in config/env/development.js

var devConfig = {
    //db: "mongodb://localhost/nodegoat"
};

If no luck, send your node and grunt versions

Not sure whether this was resolved or not. I've got the same error and I think so the issue is with the grunt setup - starting server as node server.js works.

I could recreate the issue today. @khare-ashwini , as you analyzed it does seem to be an issue with grunt setup. Reopening it. If you have already fixed it, I would be happy to incorporate pull request with fix.
