Getting my head around mongo atm. I am trying to copy a complete database from a server to my pc:
db.copyDatabase(fromdb, todb, fromhost)
The fromHost db contains 4 collections with rows in it. For some reason the local version of this db has all the collections but are empty:
db1 0.000GB
db2 0.000GB
What am I missing why are the rows empty?
Q: Why are the rows empty?
A: It looks like something went wrong.
If you haven't already, I would try db.getLastError() to see if there's any error message.
I would also look at this link:
How do I copy a database from one MongoDB server to another?
If you are using
--auth, you'll need to include your username/password in there...Also you must be on the "destination" server when you run the command.
db.copyDatabase(<from_db>, <to_db>, <from_hostname>, <username>, <password>);If all that doesn't work, you might want to try something like creating a slave of the database you want to copy ...
Finally, review the materials on the MongoDb "copyDatabase" man page:
Please post back with any additional details (e.g. error message).
And, if you get it working, please post back what was wrong, and how you fixed it!
Good luck!
