Heya Kurt,
which version of Erlang are you using? Make sure it is R12B-3 (latest form erlang.org). The R12 series shows as 5.6.x on the command line when you just launch $ erl.
Anything below that is too old.

Cheers
Jan

I just installed CouchDB on a Debian VPS, and all appeared to go well. Once I start it, though, the console gives me errors like this on every request. I'm a bit stumped, what exactly is erroring out here?:

Apache CouchDB 0.9.0a675285-incubating (LogLevel=info)
Apache CouchDB is starting.

Apache CouchDB has started. Time to relax.
