> Have you looked into /root/build-couchdb/build/var/log/couchdb/couch.log ?
Thanks for pointing that out. That file only has old info in it since I changed /root/build-couchdb/build/etc/couchdb/local.ini to the settings shown here. --------------- local.ini -------------- [couchdb] database_dir = /mnt/db/couch_dbs view_index_dir = /mnt/db/couch_views uri_file = /mnt/db/couch.uri [httpd] bind_address = 0.0.0.0 [couch_httpd_auth] secret = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx require_valid_user = true [log] level = debug include_sasl = false file = /mnt/db/couch.log [admins] root = -xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [uuids] algorithm = utc_random After booting, /mnt/db/ is there, but the log file is missing. It isn't being created. There is no permission issue since everything is running as root. I just now discovered that when I run couchdb manually, futon works fine but I'm still not getting a log file created. Is it possible this log problem is the root of the big problem? Can I debug to find out where the log is ending up? I did a find / -name *couchdb.log and only the one old location showed up. Can couch run without a log file? I looked at the db configuration using futon and it matched my local.ini file. Have I given any new hints to the problem? I need more help.
