Hi,
I can't make CouchDB work on my Ubuntu 10.04 Linode VPS. I followed all
the instructions on http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Ubuntu
(example 2, minimal dependencies). When I run
/usr/local/etc/init.d/couchdb start
I get
* Starting database server couchdb [ OK ]
And
ps aux|grep couchdb^
Gives me
root 15357 0.0 0.1 1860 600 pts/0 S+ 22:13 0:00 grep
--color=auto couchdb^
r...@li105-127:/usr/local/var/log# /usr/local/etc/init.d/couchdb start

However, if I
curl http://127.0.0.1:5984
it just throws a "can't connect" error. If I stop CouchDb and then
sudo -i -u couchdb couchdb
I get this output:
Apache CouchDB 1.0.1 (LogLevel=info) is starting.

I'd love any advice I can get...thanks so much!
