A couple of things need to be changed, and one of them is simple, and I can see why you missed it. You are going to want to replace your sample.env file with just .env instead, and your MONGO_URI is also incorrect as you are using the generic example they provided which will not help, but I’ll let you try to get the right URL on your own, but if you would like more help I’ll be glad to do so.

Hello there,

As caryaharper mentioned, the issue is your MongoDB URI. There is a link in this lesson to a news article tutorial walking you through how to get a MongoDB Atlas URI, if you have not already done this section.:

Hope this helps
