Critical - P2 in this example server is a --configsvr so it won't accept data on a non-config database.
~/main $ ./mongoimport -h localhost --port 27019 -c foo < data.json connected to: localhost:27019 Thu Oct 11 11:07:06 imported 1 objects ~/main $ ./mongo --port 27019 MongoDB shell version: 2.3.0-pre- connecting to: 127.0.0.1:27019/test configsvr> show dbs local (empty) test (empty) configsvr> use test switched to db test configsvr> db.foo.count() 0 configsvr> show collections configsvr>
In addition to the above which is pretty bad, i recommend we also call getlasterror with w:majority or w:all before terminating.
