Thanks for the help. This worked in my init script ...
/root/build-couchdb/build/etc/init.d/couchdb start
I didn't know about the init.d/couchdb file. I didn't find it in my
googling. I guess I should have browsed through the whole build
directory tree.
I'm still not able to find my log file anywhere on my disk. The
configuration page in futon agrees with what I put in my local.ini
file.
log
---
file /mnt/db/couch.log
include_sasl false
level debug
This is what I get from your _log suggestion at boot and even when
starting it manually ...
curl http://root:tbgcomps2@localhost:5984/_log
{"error":"badmatch","reason":"{error,enoent}"}
Could this be a permission problem? I set up everything as root and
the couch config says to run couch as root, which it does. How else
could permission fail for something as simple as writing a log?
