CouchDB is installed as a server, to be run through /etc/init.d/couchdb. Not sure how you ran it here, but looks like some other way.
By desktopcouch https://launchpad.net/desktopcouch It runs per-user instance of couchdb.
(In reply to comment #2) > By desktopcouch https://launchpad.net/desktopcouch > > It runs per-user instance of couchdb. > I was getting a similar error when doing "/etc/init.d/couchdb start". I would look like it started properly but it just stop running silently. In the log there were access errors on "/etc/couchdb/local.ini". Looks like it was when it tried to update the password on one of my admin users that I added there. This fixed it for me, # chown couchdb.couchdb /etc/couchdb/local.ini Not too sure if these permissions would be considered a "proper" install. Permissions on other /etc/couchdb files might need to be get updated as well.
Hi there, According to the bug at Launchpad, CouchDB *ini files perms should be set to 0664. Dirkjan, what do you think about this? Best regards,
My problem with that is that /etc/couchdb/local.ini may contain a password for the admin user, and I don't think it's a good idea to make that world-readable.
Nothing to do from desktopcouch's side. Closing as WONTFIX
