I have added the mongoHQ addon for mongodb at heroku. It crashes with something like this.

connect_to_master': failed to connect to any given host:port (Mongo::ConnectionFailure)

The descriptions online (heroku mongohq) are more directed towards mongomapper, as I see it. I'm running ruby 1.9.1 and rails 3-beta with mongoid.

My feeling says that there's something with ENV['MONGOHQ_URL'], which it says the MongoHQ addon sets, but I haven't set MONGOHQ_URL anywhere in my app. I guess the problem is in my mongoid.yml ?

defaults: &defaults
  host: localhost

development:
  <<: *defaults
  database: aliado_development

test:
  <<: *defaults
  database: aliado_test

# set these environment variables on your prod server
production:
  <<: *defaults
  host: <%= ENV['MONGOID_HOST'] %>
  port: <%= ENV['MONGOID_PORT'] %>
  username: <%= ENV['MONGOID_USERNAME'] %>
  password: <%= ENV['MONGOID_PASSWORD'] %>
  database: <%= ENV['MONGOID_DATABASE'] %>

It works fine locally, but fails at heroku, more stack trace:

.....

It all works locally, both tests and app. I'm out of ideas... Any suggestions?

PS: Somebody with high repu mind create the tag 'mongohq'?
