I have a stand-alone build-couchdb installation. I can start couch
manually with
. /root/build-couchdb/build/env.sh
/root/build-couchdb/build/bin/couchdb -b
However, I can't get this to work from an init script at boot. I'm
specifically putting the command in /etc/rc.local in my ubuntu lucid
server. After booting a ps shows no couch process running.
I am directing the rc.local script's stdout to an output log and I see
"Apache CouchDB has started, time to relax." after the statements shown
above. However, when I sleep for a while and then do
/root/build-couchdb/build/bin/couchdb -s
I get nothing but a blank output.
Can someone who knows couch and linux better than I please give me a hint
on what to do?
