error when starting the server with grunt or node server - node.js

I am trying to use the mean stack as described here : http://mean.io/
after install, when making "grunt", there is an error :
debugger listening on port 5858
4 Jan 01:47:40 - [nodemon] reading ignore list

I tried the troubleshooting as specified on the site : Updating Grunt, bower and cleaning npm and bower caches worked well. but updating npm gives an error too:
npm ERR! error rolling back Error: Refusing to delete: /usr/local/bin/npm not in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm
This looks like a conflict between homebrew and npm.
but anyway i have version 1.3.21 installed.
There is the same error when i am trying node server.
do you have an idea on what i can do to make the server work ?

It may be too easy, but seems like your MongoDB server is not actually running. After having installed Mongo (on your Mac, I assume?), you have to open a Terminal window/tab, run mongod and leave it running (or use screen, etc.). You can try to access MongoDB CLI by typing mongo to make sure the server is running.

#desgnl: if you don't want to run mongod command everytime you are running the grunt, you can always use third party services like MongoDB Hosting: Database-as-a-Service by MongoLab https://mongolab.com Hope this helps too!

Cloud9 + sails.js + phpmyadmin

I have problem with creating basic sails.js application on Cloud9 environment and connecting it to MySQL.
Steps I'm making:
Creating Cloud9 project
installing sails: npm -g install sails
creating project: sails new test
lifting: cd testProject/ and sails lift
Here it's working
Adding mySQL support: mysql-ctl start
still working
adding phpMyAdmin support: phpmyadmin-ctl install
And here, my application stops working. I'm getting exception:

Additionally I'm getting info about problem with starting my app, and ability to kill the process. Of course killing does not help.
Could youplease help me with that?
So what's happening is that you're starting your sails server, which binds to port 8080, and then you try to install phpmyadmin which tries to start apache (at port 8080 too!) causing it to actually fail since the port is already in use. You will have to stop sails before trying to install / run phpmyadmin since two servers can't listen on the same port.

Mongoose Can't Connect Without Internet

I have my MongoDB server running on localhost:27017, and while I can usually run my Node.js app fine, when I disconnect from the internet Mongoose throws the error
Error: failed to connect to [localhost:27017]
Note that I can still connect to the MongoDB server from the Mongo shell client. Also, if I start up my app first and then lose internet connection, my app can access the database fine offline. So why can't it start up without internet?
EDIT: here is the error in full
events.js:85
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^

Edit: wording
Use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost. By turning off your wifi interface the OS is no longer able to resolve localhost.
Consider node-offline-localhost.
Add the following before the breaking code:
require('node-offline-localhost').always();
And it just works (hopefully), at least until RFC 3493 gets fixed.
Full disclosure: I authored this package to streamline https in my dev environment when offline.

Unhandled error event in node.js and express app

I was following along to this tutorial on "Authentication Using PassportJS" at this blog
And downloaded the files from his repo at https://github.com/DanialK/PassportJS-Authentication . And I intalled the packages that the terminal instructed me to. Then I attempted to run the app again but got this
connect.multipart() will be removed in connect 3.0
visit https://github.com/senchalabs/connect/wiki/Connect-3.0 for alternatives
connect.limit() will be removed in connect 3.0

The problem was that I did not have MongoDB running
I found that "issue" discussed on GitHub
Then got the instructions to install and run mongo from this tutorial
brew install mongodb
Then you simply start the mongo server from the terminal with
mongod
Then back in your project just start the app with
node app.js

Thanks,
You'll need to make sure you have an instance of mongodb up and running. Also, did you run "npm install" in the directory your attempting to run "tower server" in to install design.io and all the other packages tower needs? Looks like that's part of the problem.

Problems with RailwayJS (node.js): Redis connection to localhost:6379 failed - connect ECONNREFUSED

I found this web framework for node.js similar to Rails: http://railwayjs.com/
I followed all the steps:
sudo npm install railway -g
railway init blog && cd blog
npm install -l
railway generate crud post title content
# ensure mongodb is running
railway server 8888
open http://127.0.0.1:8888/posts
But I'm getting this error when I start the server:
alex#alex-System-Product-Name:~/blog$ sudo status mongodb
mongodb start/running, process 5836
alex#alex-System-Product-Name:~/blog$ railway server 8888
The "sys" module is now called "util". It should have a similar interface.
Railway server listening on port 8888 within development environment
node.js:201

Does anyone knows what's the problem?
I had to install Redis for Ubuntu (the OS I was using).
Then run redis-server in the terminal.
