Apache CouchDB needs write permission on the STDOUT file: couchdb.stdout
If you don't specify a PID file on the command line, it tries to write it to the current directory.
If the couchdb user doesn't have the permissions to do that, it will fail.
Either specify the PID file via the command line, or change directory to one where the couchdb user has permission to write, which should be /var/lib/couchdb if memory serves.
