Question

Answer 1

For the MongoDB connection, you just have to run the meteor application with the help of the meteor run command but only in one session, refer to the following command:

[kfullert@shotgun ]$ meteor mongo

MongoDB shell version: 2.2.1

connecting to: 127.0.0.1:3002/meteor

After that, you have to use the URL that is there in the "connecting to" command including the standard mongo tools:

[kfullert@shotgun ]$ mongo 127.0.0.1:3002/meteor

MongoDB shell version: 2.2.3

connecting to: 127.0.0.1:3002/meteor

For mongoimport, you have to do as follows:

[kfullert@shotgun ]$ mongoimport -h 127.0.0.1 --port 3002 -d meteor
