How-to import meteor.js db to remote mongo

I have an app developed using meteor.js; since locally it is ok, I would like now to move it to my dedicated server; I've installed mongodb 2.6 on the server following official doc; I've made a dump of my local app's db by using:

mongodump -h 127.0.0.1 --port 3001 -d meteor

and uploaded the dump folder to /var/www/mywebsite on my server;

mongodb is configured to use auth: true;

trying

mongorestore -h 127.0.0.1 --port 27017 -d mydbname dump/meteor

nothing is inserted (using mongo shell as root, the only databases I can see are local and admin)

my root mongodb user is created on admin db: (i've tried also):

mongorestore -h 127.0.0.1 --port 27017 --username root --password xxxxxx -d mydbname dump/meteor

{
    "_id" : "admin.root",
    "user" : "root",
    "db" : "admin",
    "roles" : [
        {
            "role" : "userAdminAnyDatabase",
            "db" : "admin"
        }
    ]
}

I would like to have a mongo user for the new database and restore it; after trying some different things I realized I'm not understanding how to do... Somebody can help with this?

From this answer to how to mongoimport data to deployed meteor app? :

  1. Dump data from existing mongodb (mongodb url: mongodb://USER:PASSWORD@DBHOST/DBNAME)

    mongodump -h DBHOST -d DBNAME -u USER -p PASSWORD

    This will create a "dump" directory, with all the data going to dump/DBNAME.

  2. Get the mongodb url for the deployed meteor app (i.e. www.mymeteorapp.com)

    meteor mongo --url METEOR_APP_URL

    Note: the PASSWORD expires every min.

  3. Upload the db dump data to the meteor app (using an example meteor db url)

    mongorestore -u MY_REMOTE_DATABASE_USERNAME -p MY_REMOTE_DATABASE_USER_PASSWORD -h production-db-b2.meteor.io:27017 -db www_mymeteorapp_com dump/DBNAME/

    All the data should get transferred!
