I\'m trying to understand nodejs, express and mongodb I\'m running mongodb v 2.0.6 and latest nodejs and express and trying to connect express application with mongodb through m
It's expecting version 1.4 of the MongoDB driver, not the database.
You should remove the 2.0.6 version of the driver, as mongoskin
doesn't work with that yet (issue), and install the 1.4 version instead:
$ npm uninstall mongodb
$ npm install mongodb@~1.4 [--save]
$ npm install mongoskin [--save]
(however, I'm not sure if the 1.4 driver works properly with 3.x databases)
