Having to use RHEL is my own personal definition of hell. I'm sure someone will jump in and point out how stable it is, but if you try to do anything beyond the supported apps (and couchdb is certainly out of the ordinary), you will find that you are spending all your time fighting the os. I've

I haven't tried CouchDB 0.11 yet, but I have installed previous versions on RHEL 5 just fine. If you enable the EPEL repository [0] you can install all the dependencies through yum. See http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_RHEL5 for more info. If you prefer to build ICU, SpiderMonkey

CouchDB itself is even packaged by EPEL these days, so you could just run 'yum install couchdb' after enabling the EPEL repository, but that'll get you version 0.10.0. I'll go and request an update to 0.10.1. just to see couchdb work I went ahead and ran yum install couchdb [ Loading

Does it work if you just use the CouchDB binary instead of building from scratch? (I know it's an older version, but it would help hunt things down) On Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 1:41 PM, j d dobber1...@gmail.com wrote: Ok, well after all that I'm no closer. I can bootstrap and configure and make

Hello all, I've been working/playing with couchdb for a few weeks now and would like to pose a question here that is not so much about the technical details of cdb but more about document-oriented database design. Consider the following objects top-level (ie: types of documents): user, league,

The file permissions message is mostly harmless. it just indicates beam failed to read a local erlang environment configuration from .erlang file. Couch still starts after that. If you do need a .erlang for some reason, you can put it in /var/lib/couchdb and modify your start command to use that

Could you please check your erlang version? I'm wondering if this is an older, poor implementation of term_to_binary at fault. I bet it's called somewhere in there. If you're on R13B you should be fine, but I forget exact versions. On Mar 10, 2010 10:19 PM, Jan Lehnardt j...@apache.org wrote:
