Hi all, (My system is CrunchBang waldorf, debian-based)
Currently I have one couchdb instance, and I want to setup a second couchdb2 with very similar configuration. Second instance requirements: - it can be managed like the main one, just by doing /etc/init.d/couchdb2 start|stop|restart|status - it will start automatically with system reboot - it will not conflict in any way with the main instance: databases, views, logs & pid files - it will run in a different port 5985/6985 vs 5984/6984 (for http/https) This is the shell script that I plan to use to prepare the configuration of couchdb2, starting from the current setup for the main couchdb instance: #!/bin/bash # Copy the config files cd /etc cp -R couchdb couchdb2 chown -R couchdb:couchdb couchdb2 # Change the config files for couchdb2: make sure both servers are not sharing databases/views/logfiles cd /etc/couchdb2 cat <<EOF > /tmp/sedfile s!/var/lib/couchdb/!/var/lib/couchdb2/!g s!/var/log/couchdb/!/var/log/couchdb2/!g s!^port = 5984!port = 5985! s!^port = 6984!port = 6985! s!/var/run/couchdb/!/var/run/couchdb2/! EOF sed -f /tmp/sedfile default.ini > /etc/couchdb2/default.ini mkdir /var/log/couchdb2 ; chown -R couchdb:couchdb /var/log/couchdb2 mkdir /var/run/couchdb2 ; chown -R couchdb:couchdb /var/run/couchdb2 mkdir -p /var/lib/couchdb2/1.2.0 ; chown -R couchdb:couchdb /var/lib/couchdb2 # The startup file has some hard-coded values which need to be changed cat <<EOF > /tmp/sedfile s!^RUN_DIR=/var/run/couchdb!RUN_DIR=/var/run/couchdb2! EOF sed -f /tmp/sedfile /etc/init.d/couchdb > /etc/init.d/couchdb2 rm /tmp/sedfile (the script is untested, so it may contain bugs, but you get the idea) But I do not know how to tell /etc/init.d/couchdb2 to use my config files for couchdb2. This is the command which is running couchdb, and which I want to replicate for couchdb2: /bin/sh -e /usr/bin/couchdb -a /etc/couchdb/default.ini -a /etc/couchdb/local.ini -b -r 5 -p /var/run/couchdb/couchdb.pid -o /dev/null -e /dev/null -R Ideally I would get: /bin/sh -e /usr/bin/couchdb -a /etc/couchdb2/default.ini -a /etc/couchdb2/local.ini -b -r 5 -p /var/run/couchdb2/couchdb.pid -o /dev/null -e /dev/null -R But I do not know where some of the flags are set: -a /etc/couchdb2/default.ini -a /etc/couchdb2/local.ini -p /var/run/couchdb2/couchdb.pid So my question is: where do I set those flags? They are not set in /etc/init.d/couchdb! Thanks! Daniel Gonzalez
