Hey, I had an Ubuntu machine running a couch 0.11 build from source. I just tried upgrading to 1.0 using the super-convenient installer from couch.io ( http://www.couch.io/get#ubuntu). I didn't touch any of the defaults during installation.
Couch seems perfectly happy when i start it from /opt/couchdb-1.0.0/bin/couchdb (runs fine, all tests pass), but when I start it using /opt/couchdb-1.0.0/etc/init.d/couchdb start it doesn't work. Couch appears to be running and spawns several processes, but I can't hit it on port 5984, and netstat doesn't show 5984 being occupied. Any thoughts as to what might be going on here? My initial thought was one of the old environment variables from a previous install causing something to go haywire in the init.d, but I haven't explored that much yet. thanks, Cory
