Hi. I've installed CouchDB from an RPM onto RHEL 5.5, and it works fine when run simply as "couchdb" as both root and user couchdb, however when tried to run as a background process using /etc/init.d/couchdb, it simply runs for a few seconds, crashes, starts back up and crashes again.
The error log simply shows; heart: Wed Feb 16 11:18:41 2011: heart-beat time-out. heart: Wed Feb 16 11:18:42 2011: Executed "/usr/bin/couchdb -k". Terminating. heart_beat_kill_pid = 890 heart_beat_timeout = 11 over and over without any useful information. I made sure couchdb user owns everything related to couchdb with no success. Thanks.
