mongodump error connecting to db server in localhost

It may be a very simple/obvious answer but I've tried running the following variations of the same command to backup a local mongo database and they all fail by returning:

Failed: error connecting to db server: no reachable servers

These are the commands:

I JOURNAL  [initandlisten] journal dir=/data/db/journal 
I JOURNAL  [initandlisten] recover : no journal files present, no recovery needed
I JOURNAL  [durability] Durability thread started
I CONTROL  [initandlisten] MongoDB starting : pid=88451 port=27017 dbpath=/data/db 64-bit host=Diegos-MBP.home
I CONTROL  [initandlisten] 
I CONTROL  [initandlisten] ** WARNING: soft rlimits too low. Number of files is 256, should be at least 1000
I JOURNAL  [journal writer] Journal writer thread started
I CONTROL  [initandlisten] db version v3.0.6
I CONTROL  [initandlisten] git version: nogitversion
I CONTROL  [initandlisten] build info: Darwin yosemitevm.local 14.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 14.5.0: Wed Jul 29 02:26:53 PDT 2015; root:xnu-2782.40.9~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 BOOST_LIB_VERSION=1_49
I CONTROL  [initandlisten] allocator: system
I CONTROL  [initandlisten] options: {}
I NETWORK  [initandlisten] waiting for connections on port 27017
I NETWORK  [initandlisten] connection accepted from 127.0.0.1:55910 #1 (1 connection now open)

I cannot find mongodb.conf in /etc/mongod.conf. I installed mongo with homebrew. Maybe it is related to an authentication issue?

I just ran into the same issue and it appears that using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost in the host setting worked...

Like :

mongodump -h 127.0.0.1:27017 -d demo

If you are using a replicat set (like "myset"), use this instead :

mongodump -h myset/127.0.0.1:27017 -d demo

Hope this helps...
