Hi, I'm running couchdb on Ubuntu. The first time I tried to run "couchdb -b" to put the process in the background I got this error message:"Apache CouchDB needs write permission on the STDOUT file: couchdb.stdout"
It seems that when couchdb is run with -b it tests for write permissions on couchdb.stdout and couchdb.stderr in the directory where couchdb is started. I don't see why couchdb should be able to write to my home directory so I changed the location of these two file to be the log folder. IMO this a more sensible default. I was about to submit a ticket about this, but before doing that I just wanted to check here why these files are created in the directory from which couchdb is run. Am I missing something obvious? By the way, I'm new to couchdb and I love it. Keep up the good work :-) Thanks, David
