Tragic update failure

[Brad_the_Beast]

I tried to update our repository and apparently did something wrong. Rolled back the old repo and mongod is not wanting to run. I’ve changed the db path several times but it doesn’t seem to stick. The following is the output:

When I attempt to change the directory with --dbpath I get the following error:

Any instructions on how to update the repository would be great. Thanks, Brad
Edit: Process found running. Still doesn’t work.

I suspect your command is part of the issue here. Can you try running this:

“/Volumes/ArtsRAID/Deadline/mongo/application/bin/mongod” --config “/Volumes/ArtsRAID/Deadline/mongo/application/bin/mongod/data/config.conf”

[Brad_the_Beast]

dnhs-arts:~ administrator$ /Volumes/ArtsRAID/Deadline/mongo/application/bin/mongod --config /Volumes/ArtsRAID/Deadline/mongo/application/bin/mongod/data/config.conf
Error reading config file: Not a directory
try ‘/Volumes/ArtsRAID/Deadline/mongo/application/bin/mongod --help’ for more information

[Brad_the_Beast]

Said config file is somewhere else. Command run with new location:
dnhs-arts:~ administrator$ /Volumes/ArtsRAID/Deadline/mongo/application/bin/mongod --config /Volumes/ArtsRAID/Deadline/mongo/data/config.conf
2015-08-27T12:49:46.680-0700 log file “/Volumes/ArtsRAID/Deadline/mongo/data/logs/log.txt” exists; moved to “/Volumes/ArtsRAID/Deadline/mongo/data/logs/log.txt.2015-08-27T19-49-46”.

Ahh yeah, that was my error for forgetting to properly edit the command. It looks like it’s running now, though!

[Brad_the_Beast]

I haven’t been able to check and see if it’s working. The A/C unit in our server room failed about a week ago and we just discovered it. The RAID that the repository is stored on shut down because it overheated which caused us to investigate. Upon entering the server room yesterday, the temperature was at least 100 Fº in that room so we had to shut everything down and wait for maintenance to show up to repair the A/C unit. I should be able to check tomorrow.

[Brad_the_Beast]

mongod is still not wanting to work. Same error as before.

[Brad_the_Beast]

After a reinstall, everything seems to be good.

[dwallbridge]

Just as a thought, the thermal shutdown feature might be helpful in trying to prevent hardware issues in a situation like that.
