So if you run `couchdb` as a regular user, the process wont have access to write to the appropriate log and run files. Although starting a per- user couchdb is a bit of a pain, the problem you're reporting isn't a bug.
If you're trying to start the system-wide couchdb daemon, do this: $ sudo /etc/init.d/couchdb start If you're trying to start a per-user couchdb, you need reset the config change with -n, and then add in one or more config files, like this: couchdb -n -a /etc/couchdb/default.ini -a your-config.ini You might look at how UserCouch does this: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~novacut/usercouch/trunk/view/head:/usercouch/__init__.py#L231 By default `couchdb` will use the /etc/couchdb/local.ini file as the last file in the "config chain", and that's what configures the logging and pid file in /var -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1037765 Title: Fatal erl crash no opening log file couch.log To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/couchdb/+bug/1037765/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
