Re: 1.0.1 eacces error in futon

After digging I'm answering my own question.

I was listing the couchdb database directory without showing hiddenfiles, so while I had


-rw-r--r-- 1 couchdb couchdb   16240739 Aug 26 15:27 mydatabase.couch

I never saw the hidden directory

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root       4096 Aug 26 22:29 .delete

Which I only chanced to noticed when I was strac'ing the couchdb processand noticed that it was doing a lot more when deleting a database than Ithought it was.

After I changed the permissions on the .delete directory to be owned bycouchdb, everything went back to normal.


Live and learn.

The server is a RHEL 5.3 system.

The permissions of the database files are as follows

The parent directory permissions are

drwxr-xr-x  5 couchdb couchdb  4096 Aug 26 15:14 couchdb-1.0.1

I'm stuck as to why it's not deleting databases. Futon is running in
admin party, and I'm able to create databases fine as well as delete
individual documents without a problem.

Any ideas??

Thanks,
Tim
