Daniel Gonzalez commented on COUCHDB-1253:
------------------------------------------
Mmmm, strange. I have done as you say, and couchdb seems to start now.
I must say that the problem was happening because I was starting couchdb as a
normal user, but the directory /usr/local/etc/couchdb was only
readable/writable by the couchdb user:
ls -lrtd /usr/local/etc/couchdb/
drwxrwx--- 4 couchdb couchdb 4096 2011-08-17 15:10 /usr/local/etc/couchdb/
I got couchdb to start by doing:
sudo chmod 775 /usr/local/etc/couchdb
So that the permissions were:
ls -lrtd /usr/local/etc/couchdb/
drwxrwxr-x 4 couchdb couchdb 4096 2011-08-17 15:10 /usr/local/etc/couchdb/
I was hoping that couchdb could start by reading the conf files in
/usr/local/etc/couchdb, even though I was explicitly telling couchdb not to
look there.
That seemed to do the trick.
Now, to repeat the test with your instructions, I set the permission back to
770, but the problem did not occur again.
Now I can not get the problem to happen again, with -e or with -ex, with 775 or
with 770. Strange indeed.
I attach nevertheless the log file.
Thanks.
