Apache CouchDB needs a regular PID file: /var/run/couchdb
You likely don't have permissions to do this.
Could you try running it as the couchdb user, like this:
sudo -u couchdb couchdb -b -p /var/run/couchdb
What happens then?
I just want the init.d scripts to work as they're supposed to. Is
there some special trick you have to perform after "apt-get install
couchdb"? I can't imagine I'm the only one whose init.d/couchdb won't
stop the DB in two completely different Ubuntu & CouchDB versions and
installations.
No, this is a bug, that much is certain.
