Unexpected Syntax Error Starting NPM Start

[spiderguy84]

I am trying to migrate my parse data. I cloned the Server Example app, updated the url inside it with the mongodb address, and my master key, but I get this error with starting the nam

Hi ... would you please provide your index.js file in gist or something. It's sounds like a syntax error :)

`// Example express application adding the parse-server module to expose Parse

Yes ... just add , here:

masterKey: process.env.MASTER_KEY || 'MASTERKEYHERE',

:)

[spiderguy84]

Thanks. that fixed one error, but a new one presented itself.

DATABASE_URI not specified, falling back to localhost.
parse-server-example running on port 1337.
info: Parse LiveQuery Server starts running

[mignev]

Okay :)

Just write this in your terminal:

export DATABASE_URI=mongodb://username:password@ds000000.mlab.com:00000/fritchchurch

and then:

npm start

:)

[spiderguy84]

Thanks, that fixed it...now exactly what step would I now be on in migrating data? Do I run the curl POST command from here in same window that NPM is running on to test, or do I do that from somewhere else. The "simple" migration guide branches off in so many places at the beginning it's tough to keep straight.

[mignev]

Just use MongoChef for MongoDB (http://3t.io/) and export your data on your laptop and after that import it to your local MongoDB. I think will be the easiest way to do it :)

[spiderguy84]

I already have the data migrated, and I see it in mLab in my Collections, it's all there. I just can't figure out what all to do from here, as the CURL command Parse says to use to test comes up with syntax errors as well for missing ; before statement

[mignev]

I can't get what are you trying to do :)

[spiderguy84]

Sorry, let me create a new issue on here so we don't keep a thread going with unrelated stuff.
