Following these instructions http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Fedora17 I received an error when trying to add the couchdb user. The output was :
useradd: Can't get unique system UID (no more available UIDs) useradd: can't create user warning: user couchdb does not exist - using root Thus, when I go to run couchdb, I cannot run it under the couchdb user as the Wiki suggests. 1. Does anyone know why this happened? 2. Can I still run couchdb without that user? 3. If not, can I add the user manually? ________________________________ The information contained in this communication may be CONFIDENTIAL and is intended only for the use of the recipient(s) named above.
