I am trying to set up CouchDB from a script, which makes a couch.ini config
file that includes this line:
[admins]
admin = password
On my local machine with CouchDB 1.5.0 that gets automatically hashed on first
launch. However, when another developer on the project tries to start CouchDB
1.6.0 on his machine, he gets:
$ couchdb -a local_data/couch.ini -o /dev/null -e local_data/logs/couch.stderr
Apache CouchDB 1.6.0 (LogLevel=info) is starting.
{"init terminating in
do_boot",{{badmatch,{error,{bad_return,{{couch_app,start,[normal,["/usr/local/etc/couchdb/default.ini","/usr/local/etc/couchdb/local.ini"]]},{'EXIT',{{badmatch,{error,{shutdown,{failed_to_start_child,couch_primary_services,{shutdown,{failed_to_start_child,couch_server,{function_clause,[{couch_passwords,hash_admin_password,["password"],[{file,"couch_passwords.erl"},{line,30}]},{couch_server,'-hash_admin_passwords/1-fun-0-',2,[{file,"couch_server.erl"},{line,148}]},{lists,foreach,2,[{file,"lists.erl"},{line,1336}]},{couch_server,init,1,[{file,"couch_server.erl"},{line,172}]},{gen_server,init_it,6,[{file,"gen_server.erl"},{line,306}]},{proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3,[{file,"proc_lib.erl"},{line,239}]}]}}}}}}},[{couch_server_sup,start_server,1,[{file,"couch_server_sup.erl"},{line,98}]},{application_master,start_it_old,4,[{file,"application_master.erl"},{line,272}]}]}}}}}},[{couch,start,0,[{file,"couch.erl"},{line,18}]},{init,start_it,1,[]},{init,start_em,1,[]}]}}
Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump
init terminating in do_boot ()
Has this behavior changed in CouchDB 1.6.0? Is there a way to set a password
via plaintext config anymore?
thanks,
