Package: desktopcouch
Version: 1.0.7-1
Followup-For: Bug #629565
Today I really wanted access to my database, so I decided to see if
I could run couchdb from the commandline, as my normal user, using
the desktopcouch .ini files. I figured out this commandline:
couchdb -a /etc/xdg/desktop-couch/compulsory-auth.ini -a
~/config/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.ini
Which gave horrid stacktrace-ish error messages, and never started
listening on a port.
Until... I noticed that my user did not have read access to
/etc/couchdb.
$ ls -ld /etc/couchdb
drwxrwx--- 4 couchdb couchdb 4096 Jun 10 22:59 /etc/couchdb
I added myself to the couchdb group so I could read those config
files, and now I when I run
/usr/lib/desktopcouch/desktopcouch-service
my desktopcouch works (just testing futon and the http interface.)
So, in conclusion, I think desktopcouch could be fixed by:
1) giving normal users read-only access to /etc/couchdb
or
2) shipping desktopcouch with a full config file, such that access
to /etc/couchdb is not required.
Next time I reboot, I'll try launching desktopcouch in the normal
way (it fails now, presumably because the dbus process hasn't
gotten in the couchdb group yet.)
Hope that helps. Please let me know if I can help out with further
testing/experiments.
Take care, - Jason
