mongorestore Failed: no reachable servers

Question

I tried to restore mongo from dump but failed:

mongorestore --port 27133 dump
2015-05-07T09:39:11.760+0300    Failed: no reachable servers

Answer 1

I have MongoDB installed through Homebrew, and was having this issue. Here are the symptoms:

These failed:

mongorestore dump

mongorestore dump --host=localhost

The error I got: Failed: error connecting to db server: no reachable servers

These worked (as a workaround):

mongorestore dump --host=127.0.0.1

mongorestore dump --host=0.0.0.0

This fixed the problem for me:

brew update && brew upgrade

That updated MongoDB to 3.0.7 and now mongorestore dump works without the host flag.
