Question

I am trying to build an application with mongoDB and Python Flask. While running the application, I am getting below error:

ConfigurationError: Server

Answer 1

I am having the same issue using version 2.4.10 on a Raspberry Pi 3. I found interesting information here: https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-26715

According to the above Jira task, it seems that this is a bug of MongoDB that was fixed in version 3.4. However, I found that comment stating that 3.4 is not supported on Raspbian because it is a 32-bits OS. This is confirmed here... we can only install 3.2 on Raspbian now apparently.

An alternative would be to install 64bits SuSE on the Pi or run MongoDB 3.4 in Docker.

Let me know if you have found something else...
