> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Infrastructure
> Affects Versions: 0.10
> Environment: Linux Ubuntu 32bit and 64bit
> Reporter: Simon Eisenmann
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.12

>
> When couchdb cannot write to its log file erlang just crashes without any
> hint what is going wrong. This happens for instance if the log file directory
> path does not exists.
> In some older releases (0.9) it seemed to have created the missing
> directories automatically (if permissions are ok). 0.10 does not even try to
> create the directories. The log path needs to exist.
> At least a proper error message should be added to make clear that there is a
> problem writing the log file.
