Deleting and redeploying helped me. Hope you have a backup of your mongodb data …

No. unfortunately I didn’t take backup because I didn’t anticipated anything like this before. Can reset application work? even if I reset the site local database will be erased. What do you think I should do?

Ouch. Always anticipate the worst.

Are there any errors or any more info you have?

If you want to delete and redeploy, try the steps below:

Get the production url
- meteor mongo --url buzzin.artfrontierproject.com
Quickly copy all the info into the following command
- mongodump -u username -p password --port 27017 --db buzzin.artfrontierproject.com --host production-db-b1.meteor.io
If you verified that the mongodump is okay, delete and redeploy
- meteor deploy --delete buzzin.artfrontierproject.com
- meteor deploy buzzin.artfrontierproject.com
Get the production url again and use mongorestore
- meteor mongo --url buzzin.artfrontierproject.com
- mongorestore -u username -p password --port 27017 --db buzzin.artfrontierproject.com --host production-db-b1.meteor.io

## Database Management  

As far as databases go, Mongo delivers an excellent cost of ownership.  Arguably much higher than SQL systems.  But, at the end of the day, it's still an enterprise-grade database.  And, unfortunately, there's no such thing as a free lunch.  So, despite it being very easy to manage compared to SQL based systems, there's still quite a bit involved.  The following is a grab-bag of various scripts and recipes for managing your Mongo database.    

-----------------------------------------------
#### Analyzing An Inherited Database  

There's two great utilities you should check out.  First is variety.js, which will give you a great high-level overview.  The second is schema.js, which will let you dig into the collections for more detail on the individual fields.

````js
mongo test --eval "var collection = 'users'" variety.js
````

````js
mongo --shell schema.js

Sometimes if you just redeploy (without delete) wou’ll trigger meteor.com to reload your instance. And you do not lose the mongoDB data. That’s my experience.
So, try it first WITHOUT the --delete argument.
