We recommend Home Brew instead of MacPort.
> brew install couchdb
It then displays the instructions to start on boot;
==> Caveats
If this is your first install, automatically load on login with:
mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents
cp
/usr/local/Cellar/couchdb/1.1.1/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.couchdb.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.apache.couchdb.plist
If this is an upgrade and you already have the org.apache.couchdb.plist loaded:
launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.apache.couchdb.plist
cp
/usr/local/Cellar/couchdb/1.1.1/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.couchdb.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.apache.couchdb.plist
Or start manually with:
couchdb
