Use CosmoDB as Mongo replacement

[drlukeangel]

Hi I am trying to do a fresh install on CosmoDB azure's mongo compatible database. Link To Example
And I am getting a error below. I have gotten it to successfully to right through to the datastore at one point so i know it can work but after it then fails on the read. Has anyone successfully gotten his to work?

Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::36887

What is your config.json? The EADDRINUSE exception usually occurs because you're trying to run nodebb while another instance is already running. Have you tried killing other node processes?

I restarted and now when I
from the command line installer "./nodebb install" I get this error

26/10 12:20:12 [41716] - warn: NodeBB Setup Aborted.
MongoError: Syntax error, incorrect syntax near '12'.

this is the function throwing the error

/**

• Creates a new MongoError object
• @method
• @param {object} options The error options
• @return {MongoError} A MongoError instance
  */
  MongoError.create = function(options) {
  var err = null;

if(options instanceof Error) {
err = new MongoError(options.message);
err.stack = options.stack;
} else if(typeof options == 'string') {
err = new MongoError(options);
} else {
err = new MongoError(options.message || options.errmsg || options.$err || "n/a");
// Other options
for(var name in options) {
err[name] = options[name];
}
}

return err;
}

this is the mongo connection string.. Its currently live if you want to give it a try..

its on a free trial account that ill delete shortly.

as you can see by the data explorer it installed on the instance at one point.

What's node -v?

Also, ./nodebb setup is the command line installer.
