I need to change the server_name of a running rethinkdb instance. I have stopped the server and update the /etc/rethinkdb/instances.d/default.conf file and then removed the metadata & rethinkdb_data from /var/lib/rethinkdb/default/data location. Finally when i executed the rethinkdb --config-file /etc/rethinkdb/instance.d/default.conf it shows that server is ready but didn't came back to bash shell prompt.

Can someone clarify on this.

Thanks in advance.

To start the rethinkdb daemon in the background, use:

/etc/init.d/rethinkdb start

It will automatically read the configuration file in /etc/rethinkdb/instance.d/default.conf
