Hello! I have a local mongo db and I want to transfer it into my ubuntu machine. So far i have exported the local db issuing the command below:
mongoexport --db local_db --collection myCollection --out myCollection.json
and the json file was created. Now i log in into my machine using putty and try
mongoimport --db cloud_db --collection myCloudCollection --file myCollection.json
and i get the following error:
Failed: error connecting to db server: no reachable servers 2015-09-01T13:10:30.080-0400 imported 0 documents Failed: error connecting to db server: no reachable serversmongoimport
i try to restart mongo service sudo service mongod restart but i get the same error.
