Have been trying to install 1.0 from source on ubuntu lucid. Followed instructions at http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Ubuntu and last of external links 'install CouchDB 0.11 on Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid.'
If I do $ sudo /etc/init.d/couchdb start * Starting database server couchdb but $curl http://127.0.0.1:5984/ [ OK ] curl: (7) couldn't connect to host and $ps au | grep couchdb couchdb 22849 0.0 0.0 4092 692 pts/4 S 19:43 0:00 /bin/sh -e /usr/local/bin/couchdb -a /usr/local/etc/couchdb/default.ini -a /usr/local/etc/couchdb/local.ini -b -r 5 -p /usr/local/var/run/couchdb/couchdb.pid -o /dev/null -e /dev/null -R couchdb 22863 0.0 0.0 4092 360 pts/4 S 19:43 0:00 /bin/sh -e /usr/local/bin/couchdb -a /usr/local/etc/couchdb/default.ini -a /usr/local/etc/couchdb/local.ini -b -r 5 -p /usr/local/var/run/couchdb/couchdb.pid -o /dev/null -e /dev/null -R couchdb 22864 1.2 0.0 257416 12428 pts/4 Sl 19:43 0:00 /usr/lib/erlang/erts-5.7.4/bin/beam.smp -Bd -K true -A 4 -- -root /usr/lib/erlang -progname erl -- -home /var/lib/couchdb -- -noshell -noinput -sasl errlog_type error -couch_ini /usr/local/etc/couchdb/default.ini /usr/local/etc/couchdb/local.ini /usr/local/etc/couchdb/default.ini /usr/local/etc/couchdb/local.ini -s couch -pidfile /usr/local/var/run/couchdb/couchdb.pid -heart if I then $ sudo /etc/init.d/couchdb stop * Stopping database server couchdb which stops above processes.
