Ulises Cervino Beresi updated COUCHDB-153:
------------------------------------------
Attachment: issue-153.patch
New patch. This time it reports a pretty message and stops the bootup process
(perhaps in an ugly fashion). Still makes use of io:format() as the log server
hasn't been started at this point.
Output from console:
Apache CouchDB 0.9.0a-incubating (LogLevel=error) is starting.
[error] Can't access "/arse/foo" (reason: eacces)

>
> 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.
