Mup Deployment failed, Db names shouldn't contain '.' character

deployment
1

I am trying to deploy my meteor applicaiton on Linode server. It is failing at verification with the following error:
db names should not contain '.'.
But I havent use dot for any db name.The application is working charm on local system.
Meteor version is 1.5.1 (I don’t think it’s much relevant)
My mup.js is below

module.exports = {
  servers: {
    one: {
      // TODO: set host address, username, and authentication method
      host: '45.79.94.190',
      username: 'root',
      // pem: './path/to/pem'
      // password: 'server-password'
      // or neither for authenticate from ssh-agent
    }
  },

  meteor: {
    // TODO: change app name and path
    name: 'boomerplaza.com',
    path: '../',

    servers: {
      one: {},
    },

    buildOptions: {
      serverOnly: true,
    },

    env: {
      // TODO: Change to your app's url
      // If you are using ssl, it needs to start with https://
      ROOT_URL: 'http://boomerplaza.com',
      MONGO_URL: 'mongodb://localhost/meteor',
      PORT: 3000,    
},

    // ssl: { // (optional)
    //   // Enables let's encrypt (optional)
    //   autogenerate: {
    //     email: 'email.address@domain.com',
    //     // comma seperated list of domains
    //     domains: 'website.com,www.website.com'
    //   }
    // },

    docker: {
      // change to 'kadirahq/meteord' if your app is not using Meteor 1.4
      image: 'abernix/meteord:base',
      //imagePort: 3000, // (default: 80, some images EXPOSE different ports)
    },

    // This is the maximum time in seconds it will wait
    // for your app to start
    // Add 30 seconds if the server has 512mb of ram
    // And 30 more if you have binary npm dependencies.
    deployCheckWaitTime: 60,

    // Show progress bar while uploading bundle to server
    // You might need to disable it on CI servers
    enableUploadProgressBar: true
  },
 	
  mongo: {
    port: 27017,
    version: '3.4.1',
    servers: {
      one: {}
    }
  }
};

I am always getting this error checked with mup logs command.

Have you tried changing your app name boomerplaza.com to not use a dot? I’m assuming MUP uses that string to name your database.

thanks for mentioning, I changed that back to mongodb://localhost/meteor as you can see now still the error persists.

where can I see that?

In your code the app name is:

meteor: {
  // TODO: change app name and path
  name: 'boomerplaza.com',
  ...
}

oh I thought you want to mention in the mongo_url, I will try without .com in the app name thanks and get back. I was on the view the mongo_url is mongodb://localhost/meteor, so meteor should be dbname @florianbienefelt.

Indeed you are correct :pray: thanks for the help
