I've been giving the delightful task of figuring out how to make the
current version of couchdb run under SLES 2.6.32.54-0.3-pae (not my
choice!), and have had a miserable time of it. Here is the procedure that
I've followed:
----------
Install Mozilla Spider Monkey:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/js185-1.0.0.tar.gz
Install icu:
http://download.icu-project.org/files/icu4c/4.8.1.1/icu4c-4_8_1_1-RHEL6-i386.tgz
Install CouchDB:
http://apache.mirrors.hoobly.com//couchdb/1.1.1/apache-couchdb-1.1.1.tar.gz
requires: Mozilla Spider Monkey
requires: icu
Install Erlang:
http://www.erlang.org/download/otp_src_R15B.tar.gz
wants: wxWidgets (for wx)?
wants: fop (documentation only?)?
wants: Java compiler (for jinterface)?
useradd couchdb
sudo mkdir ~couchdb
sudo chown couchdb ~couchdb
sudo chgrp users ~couchdb
Remove the -e from the first line of /usr/local/etc/rc.d/couchdb
start couchdb - sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/couchdb start
See if couchdb is listening on its port? - FAIL
----------
OK, so I then find
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.couchdb.user/5639
and indeed couchdb is not listening on port 5984 (nor, as far as I can
tell from lsof, any other port) but seems to be running according to ps:
couchdb 22204 0.0 0.0 2848 1268 ? S Mar07 0:00 /bin/sh -e
/usr/local/bin/couchdb -a /usr/local/etc/couchdb/default.ini -a
/usr/local/etc/couchdb/local.ini -b -r 5 -p
/usr/local/var/run/couchdb/couchdb.pid -o /dev/null -e /dev/null -R

couchdb 22223 0.0 0.0 1664 416 ? Ss Mar07 0:14 heart -pid
22215 -ht 11
I tried the solution in that web page and it doesn't seem to make a
difference, so now I'm stumped. I've spent days on this going through web
pages wnd trying various things with no luck.
I'm certain that this is something truly simple and stupid, but it has
eluded me. Anyone willing to give me a clue-by-four?
