Re: Some test fail in 0.11 after install from source tgz

[cdr53x]

Hi,

Thanks for the hints !
I followed most of the steps of the wiki, maybe I forgot a permission 
somewhere.

However I have couch running, test have been executed, log is created, 
so it is probably an issue somwhere else then in usual dirs ( 
/usr/local/etc/couchdb, /usr/local/lib/couchdb, 
/usr/local/var/log/couchdb , /usr/local/bin/couchdb ... ) . I'll double 
check again !

Any ideas concerning the mime type error ? ( expected 
'text/plain;charset=utf-8', got 'application/json' ) ?

Thanks again !



Oh, you'll also get eaccess errors if couch can't write the DB files
or log files, as well, as mentioned on that page I linked to.

That {error, eaccess} error generally means that the user you're
running couchdb as doesn't have write access to your config files, and
it looks like from the call there that it's trying to write back the
hashed version of your admin password.

     

I realy don't know the severity of the errors. The 0.10 version installed
from debian package seem to pass all the tests.

Any ideas on how to solve this ?
       
The couchdb you installed from source is probably looking at
/usr/local/etc/couchdb for config files, whereas the one set up by the
packaged version probably went into /etc/couchdb, so you'll need to
update the permissions of all the couchdb directories, specifically
/usr/local/etc/couchdb and /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb

See
