Jan Lehnardt commented on COUCHDB-153:
--------------------------------------
Thanks for taking care.
?LOG_* corresponds to the log levels the users sets in his ini. INFO is the
default. A problem is starting CouchDB in in the background `couchdb -b`. where
you do not get any messages. io:format() should be avoided. The problem here is
that logging is a secondary service which has not been started yet and things
are not get logged to the logfile.
Another catch is starting CouchDB in the background where you don't get any
message
stop() calls couch_server_sup:stop() calls catch
exit(whereis(couch_server_sup), normal). which I believe causes CouchDB to
terminate.

>
> CouchDB is installed as root for most people, and hence without remembering
> to change the permissions on the log/data directories, errors are very
> common. The problems caused by incorrect permissions can be very confusing.
> We should re-add the checks for these that used to be in the init script, but
> place them in CouchDB core. We need to do this so that the multiple
> configuration settings will be taken account for.
