To remove the bad alias from the ~/.bashrc_aliases file, type the following in bash:
vim ~/.bashrc_aliases
Then key down to the mongod alias and press the A
key on the keyboard. This puts you in insert mode on the editor. remove everything after the equals sign and copy/paste in this:
'mongod --bind_ip=$IP --dbpath=data --nojournal --rest "$@"'
Note that the dbpath can be whatever path you would like.
Once you’ve copied in that change, press the ESC
key. Then type in :wq
and press enter. This should save the changes.
Finally, exit the current bash terminal, and start a new one using Alt+T
. You should now be able to use the mongod
alias as normal.
Note: any changes made to the ~/.bashrc_aliases file requires a restart of the terminal.
