December 29, 2017Recently, I experienced that Mongodb was not starting after a system crash. When I ran
service mongod restart
mongodb crashed with error in log file. The error said "exception in initAndListen: 12596 old lock file, terminating"
If you ever encounter this issue, the solution is to start the mongod instance using the –repair option by using the following command
sudo -u mongodb mongod --repair --dbpath /var/lib/mongodb/
