[08:37:31] MasterGberry: Where is the most up to date instllation
instructions for CouchDB and CentOS? the page here
http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/install/unix.html seems to be missing some
information about how to get some of the dependencies
[08:37:40] MasterGberry: none of the erlang stuff exists
[08:38:16] Kxepal: MasterGberry: what's missed?
[08:38:30] Kxepal: let's fix that (:
[08:39:14] MasterGberry: none of the erlang packages exist by default repos
[08:39:36] Kxepal: that's cannot be
[08:39:36] MasterGberry: I ran "sudo yum install autoconf autoconf-archive
automake curl-devel erlang-asn1 erlang-erts erlang-eunit erlang-os_mon
erlang-xmerl help2man libicu-devel libtool perl-Test-Harness"
[08:39:56] MasterGberry: This was the output
https://gist.github.com/mastergberry/0e48977aabfd894a682c
[08:40:32] MasterGberry: Using CentOS release 6.6 (Final)
[08:46:50] Kxepal: hm...try to erlang solutions repo
https://www.erlang-solutions.com/downloads/download-erlang-otp or follow
instruction from https://github.com/wendall911/couchdb-rpm .if any works, docs
needs to be updated.
[08:54:33] MasterGberry: Kxepal ok let me give it a quick shot
[08:59:05] MasterGberry: Kxepal add "yum localinstall
http://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm"; (or
latest version found here
https://www.erlang-solutions.com/downloads/download-erlang-otp) to your
documentation
[08:59:22] MasterGberry: Should also just make the yum install 1 long line
so it's easier for people to copy and paste
[09:01:24] Kxepal: MasterGberry: cool and good idea. is that enough to
make couchdb on centos so far?
[09:02:00] MasterGberry: I have to do the spidermonkey stuff now
[09:02:08] MasterGberry: and iirc last time that was a pain in the ass...i
couldnt get it to compile from source properly
[09:02:14] MasterGberry: trying to see if i can find the rpm i ended up
using
[09:07:50] MasterGberry: bah found something for centos7 but not 6
[09:10:39] MasterGberry: oh im dumb
[09:11:44] MasterGberry: Why doesnt' wendall911 just post the actual rpm
instead of making us build it :/
[09:14:44] Kxepal: dont know, but this is a good subject for couchdb-rpm
issue (:
[09:15:04] MasterGberry knows nothing about RPM's, dont ask
[09:16:26] MasterGberry: Kinda wish it was easier to just build all this
stuff though
[09:17:19] MasterGberry hopes that the spidermonkey stuff is installing
right
[09:25:17] MasterGberry: Notes to self installed using
https://github.com/wendall911/js185 , had no issues installing final rpm for
js-1.8.5-15.el6.x86_64.rpm, needed to "yum install readline-devel" to make
js-devel-1.8.5-15.el6.x86_64.rpm install properly
[09:25:56] MasterGberry: oh and had to download the actual tar.gz to the
correct location specified in the instructions (not 100% clear) found here
http://www.filewatcher.com/m/js185-1.0.0.tar.gz.6164605-0.html
[09:28:09] MasterGberry: here comes the fun part...fixing the ./configure
to work
[10:08:50] MasterGberry: ./configure
--with-erlang=/usr/lib64/erlang/usr/include/
[10:11:45] MasterGberry: Kxepal ok so from my instructions in this chat
[10:11:51] MasterGberry: i got it to install properly in that order
[10:12:07] MasterGberry: step 2.1.4 and 2.1.5 are out of order
[10:12:15] MasterGberry: well some of it at least
[10:12:19] MasterGberry: u should be making the user first
[10:12:23] MasterGberry: then trying to run the couchdb setup
[10:12:37] MasterGberry: oh and obv after ./configure just the make &&
make install
[10:13:39] MasterGberry: no idea what --gecos is...but thats not an option
[10:15:43] MasterGberry: adduser --system --home
/usr/local/var/lib/couchdb --no-create-home --shell /bin/bash -c "CouchDB
Administrator" couchdb
[10:15:53] MasterGberry: that is what i ran, not sure if its the right
solution or not tho
[10:18:08] Kxepal: MasterGberry: > The "GECOS" field of /etc/passwd is for
comments, usually for the full name of the user. // never actually seen this
before
[10:19:23] Kxepal: MasterGberry: if it works and those in docs doesn't
that makes it right anyway. thanks, I'll sort these bits to correct the install
docs. btw, you may also send us pull request with all the changes (;
[10:20:07] MasterGberry: also don't seem to have the couchdb init.d script
installed for some reason :/
[10:20:31] Kxepal: it may be in /usr/local/etc/init.d/...
[10:20:47] MasterGberry: nope
[10:20:55] MasterGberry: lets see if i can find it..
[10:21:17] MasterGberry: ./usr/local/etc/rc.d/couchdb
