HI ,

I need some help in starting mongod service on one of our servers, the service was running fine before i tried to comment out: wiredTigerDirectoryForIndexes in mongod.conf file.

As of now, the service is stopped and when i try to start it using mongod command it fails with following error:

2019-07-03T11:55:31.026+0800 I STORAGE [initandlisten] exception in initAndListen: InvalidOptions: Requested option conflicts with current storage engine option for directoryForIndexes; you requested false but the current server storage is already set to true and cannot be changed, terminating

I have reverted back the changes but it seems not to pick up the chanege. I am not using root acces but i am using sudo option to make any change. Is there any ther option i can try before running mongo repair as this is a production machine.
