Brian Candler closed COUCHDB-302.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
The "1: 0" error was reported separately as COUCHDB-305 and fixed
The pidfile was moved recently to .../var/run/couchdb/ directory (r761355) and
the README updated to indicate that this directory needs to be created with the
correct permissions (r761352)
> Permissions problems under Ubuntu
> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-302
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-302
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.9
> Environment: r757147
> Ubuntu Hardy
> Reporter: Brian Candler
>
> Couchdb install scripts not setting correct permissions under Ubuntu. First I
> did a complete wipe of all couchdb-related files and directories:
> $ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb
> $ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/couchdb /usr/local/share/couchdb
> /usr/local/var/log/couchdb /usr/local/var/run/couchdb.pid
> /usr/local/etc/init.d/couchdb /usr/local/etc/logrotate.d/couchdb
> /usr/local/etc/default/couchdb /usr/local/bin/couch{db,js}
> Then after a 'make install':
> $ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/couchdb start
> * Starting database server couchdb
> Apache CouchDB needs write permission on the PID file:
> /usr/local/var/run/couchdb.pid
>
> [fail]
> So I created the pidfile by hand:
> $ sudo touch /usr/local/var/run/couchdb.pid
> $ sudo chown couchdb:couchdb /usr/local/var/run/couchdb.pid
> $ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/couchdb start
> * Starting database server couchdb
> /usr/local/bin/couchdb: 1: 0: not found
> /usr/local/bin/couchdb: 1: 0: not found
> /usr/local/bin/couchdb: 1: 0: not found
> [ OK
> ]
> Despite the "not found" errors, couchdb was running. Now:
> $ curl -X PUT http://localhost:5984/db1
> {"error":"error","reason":"eacces"}
> I found that /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb had been recreated with owner 0:0
> It seems to work OK after this:
> $ sudo chown couchdb:couchdb /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb
