Ubuntu alias not applied in bashrc

Question

I am under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
I have added such line to ~/.bashrc

alias myconf="sudo nano /opt/nginx/conf/sites-available/efiling"

I tried with single quotes too:

alias myconf='sudo nano /opt/nginx/conf/sites-available/efiling'

Then I logged out and logged in again.

test@STORK:~$ myconf
myconf: command not found

But after test@STORK:~$ source ~/.bashrc it works.

Can Anyone help me?

Solution

I think it should be

alias myconf='sudo nano /opt/nginx/conf/sites-available/efiling'

with single-quotes instead of double-quotes.

You can also use

$ source ~/.bashrc

to load bash.rc without closing the terminal/logging out.

Thaks for help. source ~/.bashrc helped me. But why it isn't applied automatically when I am logging in?

[Anju Fabulina]

That looks okay. What about the two files ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bash_login, do these exist on your system? Because in my default .profile file the comment at the top says that, "This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login exists."

Oh, thanks a lot. Iy works. It was a problem that I had bash_login file.

using . in place of source also runs .bashrc doesn't? >$ . .bashrc
