MongoDB mongorestore failure: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

Question

I created a dump with mongodump on computer A (ubuntu 12.04 server). I moved it to computer B (ubuntu 12.04 server) and typed:

mongorestore -db db_nam

Answer 1

To make the fix permanent you can edit one of those files:

• sudo vim /etc/default/locale
• sudo vim /etc/environment

And add the line LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
