From the error, it seems that it has something to do with how I set up my Mongo URL in my settings.json file

This is how I set it up in my settings.json file:

{
  "AWSAccessKeyId": "ID
  "AWSSecretAccessKey": "SECRETID",
  "public": {
    "analyticsSettings": {
      "Google Analytics" : {"trackingId": "sdsd-dlsfs-1"}
    },
    "galaxy.meteor.com": { 
     "env": { 
       "MONGO_URL": "mongodb://<dbuser>:<dbpassword>@dfd43435.mlab.com:2423/dbname" 
     } 
   }
  }
}

What am I doing wrong here?

You need to put the galaxy.meteor.com outside of public field.

Did you set your Mlab Information in the

mongodb://<dbuser>:<dbpassword>@dfd43435.mlab.com:2423/dbname

correctly?

dbuser/dbpassword/dbname have to be set in order to connect your database in with your deployed app.

I managed to solve it by deleting settings.json file and creating new one. I typed the content of the settings.json manually.

seems like there were hidden characters in the file.

Are you using windows command prompt? first check by typing below command

meteor mongo --url

above command will display your mongo url.If you want to run any other database in your local app, go to root folder and type below command

set MONGO_URL=mongodb://[username]:[password]@[host]:[port]/[databasename]

eg-set MONGO_URL=mongodb://root:abcde@ds049476.mlab.com:48474/mydb

above command is working on windows
