I had problems getting external http handlers running with osx from launchctl, the .plist sets the user to couchdb, I got this working by setting the user in the .plist to root. what is the best practice here, should the external http handlers be set to user couchdb? Here are the details of what I encountered http://www.vertigrated.com/blog/2010/04/couchdb-launchctl-external-httpd-handlers-madness/ I also documented this wasted time on the CouchDB wiki.
