Mongoose Trying to open unclosed connection

Question

This is a simplified version of the problem, but basically I\'m trying to open 2 mongodb connections with mongoose and it\'s giving me \"Trying to open unclosed connection.\

Answer 1

You are attempting to open the default connection ( which is not yet closed ) a 2nd time.

do the following instead

var db = require('mongoose'); //note only one 'require' needed.
var connectionToDb1 = db.createConnection('my.db1.ip.address', 'my-db1');
var connectionToDb2 = db.createConnection('my.db2.ip.address', 'my-db2');
