Second update. I know. I fail. These lines also have a typo:
DbUpdateNotificationProcess=/path/to/couch-xapian/xapian-indexer ExternalQueryServer=/path/to/couch-xapian/xapian-query-server Should be: DbUpdateNotificationProcess=/path/to/couchdb-xapian/xapian-indexer ExternalQueryServer=/path/to/couchdb-xapian/xapian-query-server Hopefully thats all.
