I encountered a similar issue with the same error and the same solution.

How do you force mongodb to verstion 1.3.4? I am working with someone's example and having this error. I don't see where I can make this change. In which file of my app? An d what exactly should the line be? Thank you in advance.

The mongodb folder in the node_modules folder is what's used by the app. Typically the node_modules folder is populated by running the "npm install" command, which reads the dependencies from a file called package.json.

Assuming you're following this typical dependency-management style, modify your package.json so that the version of mongodb depended on is set to "1.3.4" (rather than "~1.3.x" or "1.3.5"), then run "npm install."

For more information on npm, see this (somewhat-dated) series of Nodejitsu blog posts.

Thank you for your answer, Airandfingers, but my package.json doesn't have mongodb in it. Below is the contents of the package file. Meanwhile though, I somewhat fixed the issue by changing my express.session lines of code to this:

var MongoStore = require('connect-mongo')(express);
app.use(express.session({
store: new MongoStore({
url: process.env.MONGOLAB_URI
}),
secret: process.env.COOKIEHASH
}));

Here is my package.json file:
{
"name": "dwd-nodejs-passportjs",
"version": "0.0.1",

"dependencies": {
"express": "3.x",
"hogan-express" : "0.3.3",
"mongoose" : "3.5.4",
"moment" : "1.7.2",
"passport": "0.1.x",
"consolidate": "latest",
"ejs" : "latest",
"passport-local": "0.1.x",
"passport-local-mongoose": "0.2.0",
"connect-mongo" : "0.3.x",
"aws-sdk" : "v0.9.8-pre.9"
},

"engines" : {
"node" : "0.8.x",
"npm" : "1.1.x"
}
}

Hm, it looks like you're using connect-mongo instead of connect-mongodb. That's a mistake I've seen a few times in this repo's issues (I sometimes get confused, myself.)

Here's an excerpt from my code, for reference:

var MongoStore = require('connect-mongodb') //used as our session store
  , mongodb = require('mongodb')
  , db = new mongodb.Db(db_config.DB_NAME, server_config, { w: -1 });
  , session_store = new MongoStore({ db: db, username: 'user', password: 'password });

Indeed still a problem in 1.3.8

The better work around is to just connect to your mongodb object before you pass it to conenct-mongodb.

I have raised an issue with mongodb API to fix this better.
