I am using node-red-contrib-arangodb. I have configured my database like this:

[http://username:password@http](http://username:password@http)://127.0.0.1:8529/\_db/myDB/

when I deploy I get this error  
Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND http

Hi @Monta,

i have never used that node so cannot comment on it directly, but the url you have used has too many `http` in it and is not valid.

You probably want to use:

```auto
http://username:password@127.0.0.1:8529/_db/myDB/

```

Thank you @knolleary.  
Now I got a new error: it doesn't now the path. I am sure it is correct because I use the same url when I use curl

In node-red you are trying to use a contrib-node not a http node. Have you tried to search [flows.nodered.org](http://flows.nodered.org) to see if there are any examples?

Indeed, I am using this contrib-node: [https://flows.nodered.org/flow/5226db9aef3bd605a99f3c5b94c0a816](https://flows.nodered.org/flow/5226db9aef3bd605a99f3c5b94c0a816)

That's an example flow (rather than a node) have you tried importing the flow on that page and looking to see how the flow sends it data?

If you still can't work out how to do it I would suggest opening an issue on the nodes github page, as a node should contain enough information in the ReadMe to allow you to configure the node.

I imported the flow as it is and added database config. However, it doesn't work.

As the node itself isn’t published on [flows.nodered.org](http://flows.nodered.org) I’m guessing it is not widely used by people on the forum site.

As I already suggested, you could try contacting the owner by opening an issue on the nodes github page.
