Andrew Melo created COUCHDB-1512: ------------------------------------ Summary: Provide proper error if a hostname (and not an ip) is used for bind_address Key: COUCHDB-1512 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1512 Project: CouchDB Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Andrew Melo Priority: Minor
Currently, couch throws an opaque error message and doesn't bind the tcp port, but the process doesn't die, so it's unclear what's happening. Preferably, couch should raise an informative error message and die if an invalid bind_address is passed -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
