mongoexport syntax error message

Question

I\'m working with mongodb 2.4.3 and I cannot get mongoexport to work. The error message I get with each command is: \"JavaScript execution failed: SyntaxError: Unexpe

Answer 1

I ran into this too and I solved it executing the command from the path/bin where 'mongoexport' is located.In my case :

 my_path: /usr/local/Cellar/mongodb/2.4.4-x86_64/bin

"mongoexport -d book -c shelf"

'mongod' is located one step upper from 'mongoimport' , 'mongoexport', etc...
