from the stack trace I concluded that it can not establish connection to mongo db. I have investigated a bit and they say out there that I should downgrade from mongo 3.2 to 3.0 because 3.2 is not compatible.

If this is a problem. How do I change mongo version in meteor.

If the problem is something else please advise.

I am using [email protected] and node v0.10.43. The application works fine on mac and ubuntu.

Answer 1

You're right, you should downgrade your mongo installation to 3.0 Your problem will be fixed.
