Posting to a Neo4j server using node.js - node.js

Question

Disclaimer: This is related to another question I asked here. I was advised to ask a new question rather than to update that one, I hope that this is correct. If not please let me know and ignor this question.
I have been trying to use a Neo4j in Microsoft Azure, using this tutorial. I created a VM running Linux and neo4j. I know his works fine because I have been able to access the database via the web admin portal, where I can create and delete entries. However the problem comes when I try to use node.js to insert elements.
Here is the code for the script:
function insert(item, user, request) {
//comment to trigger .js creation
var neo4j = require('neo4j');
var db = new neo4j.GraphDatabase('http://<username>:<password>#neo4jmobile.cloudapp.net:7474');
var node = db.createNode({ name: item.name });
node.save(function (err, node) {
if (err) {
console.error('Error saving new node to database:', err);
}
else {
console.log('Node saved to database with id:', node.id);
}
});
request.execute();
}
I am getting this error message:
Error saving new node to database: { [Error: connect ETIMEDOUT]

Any help would be appreciated!

Your URL is still wrong: http://<username>:<password>#http://neo4jmobile.cloudapp.net:7474 should be http://<username>:<password>#neo4jmobile.cloudapp.net:7474
In the referenced tutorial (which is quite good btw) he says:
var db = new neo4j.GraphDatabase('http://<username>:<password>#<your neo url>.cloudapp.net:7474');
Where refers to the hostname, i.e.: neo4jmobile
