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.
any help? what Am i doing wrong?

By default, mongoimport
will attempt to connect to a MongoDB instance on localhost port 27017. If yours is running on a different port, you will also need to provide --host <hostname>:<port>
when using the command.
You can check what port your instance is using by running:
netstat -plunt | grep mongo
See here for the full documentation for mongoimport
Hi,
Can you connect to your Ubuntu Droplet’s MongoDB instance with any other command? Do you see anything in the MongoD logs?
