I've been trying to stay out of this thread, but oh well. The utils/run script is for developers only. You should not be using this in a production setting. I recommend you run through the following: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Troubleshooting http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Error_messages Both of those may be a little out of date, but they are written in such a way that they should fix your problem, or give you the information you need to send back to the list. Basically, if you get it working with the Troubleshooting guide, then you have a problem with one of the following: * Your previous installation is borked * The couchdb user has issues with it's home directory * The couchdb user doesn't have permission for /var/run/couchdb * The couchdb user doesn't have permission for /var/log/couchdb Hope this helps.
