title: Convert a Standalone to a Replica Set, not work
body: <p>I need to Convert a Standalone to a Replica Set</p>
  
  <p>I'm using the following documentation:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/convert-standalone-to-replica-set/" rel="nofollow">http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/convert-standalone-to-replica-set/</a></p>
  
  <p>After executing the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mongod --port 27017 --replSet rs0 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in the terminal shows me the following</p>
  
  <pre><code>Thu Nov 15 10:07:57 [rsStart] trying to contact MY_HOST.local:27017 
  Thu Nov 15 10:07:57 [rsStart] couldn't connect to MY_HOST.local:27017: 
  couldn't connect to server MY_HOST.local:27017 
  Thu Nov 15 10:07:57 [rsStart] replSet can't get local.system.replset 
  config from self or any seed (yet) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In mongo shell, the command results of rs.initiate() and rs.status(), are the following: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; rs.initiate() 
  
  { 
          "startupStatus" : 4, 
          "info" : "rs0", 
          "errmsg" : "all members and seeds must be reachable to initiate set", 
          "ok" : 0 
  } 
  &gt;  rs.status() 
  
  { 
          "startupStatus" : 4, 
          "errmsg" : "can't currently get local.system.replset config from self 
  or any seed (EMPTYUNREACHABLE)", 
          "ok" : 0 
  } 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please I need help and tell me I'm doing wrong or what I'm missing</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your attention</p>
