Finally got around to trying this and got what appears to be the same error. Here’s the whole output in case there is something relevant <http://www.friendpaste.com/7KqBEJN7StwYjY8I3zkR9p> As suggested by Noah’s I’m attempting to test the couchdb user: $ login couchdb Password: No home directory /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb! Which is weird as I am looking at this directory now. Do I need to do more than: $ sudo chown -R couchdb:couchdb /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb To give the couchdb user access to it? I’m sorry if this is elementary. Ollie
