I'm working on the CouchDB book as we speak, and I literally just wrote: "You should make sure that the couchdb user has a working login shell. You can test this logging into a terminal as the couchdb user. You should also make sure to set the home directory to /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb which is the CouchDB database directory." You'll need to figure out why this command isn't working. Can you log in as the couchdb user? Does it have a proper shell? What is the home directory set to? Does it exist? Does the user have permission to access it? Thanks, -- Noah Slater, http://tumbolia.org/nslater
