Did you change permissions on the $PREFIX/var/run/couchdb $PREFIX/var/lib/couchdb directories as well? Can you run couchdb as root? Can you change the log level in $PREFIX/etc/couchdb/local.ini to debug and try again? Can you try these commands in the erl console: $ erl # Stuff... 1> application:start(crypto). ok 2> application:start(couch). ok And see if either of those doesn't return ok. HTH, Paul Davis
