I installed it using apt-get (from sid), and yes, using curl I can create, list, query and delete databases. It is really very odd. I even tried creating the test database manually, but while it then got a bit further it then got confused that it was empty.
However when I tried using couchapp to install tapirwiki, couchapp said that it had worked, but it would never initialise, which is why I thought running the test suite might shine some light on the problem. But it did not, just a blank no_db_file. David On Friday 05 November 2010, Gabriel Farrell wrote: > How did you install CouchDB?
