Since this seems to come up fairly frequently (e.g. it bit me a week or two

ago), might it make sense to detect the Erlang version and spit out a

warning on the console when you start couchdb if you're not running a new

enough version?

I had the same idea and asked Noah, if we could do that and he said we
already do, but it seems to not work. Noah? :)

Heya Kurt,
which version of Erlang are you using? Make sure it is R12B-3 (latest
form erlang.org).

The R12 series shows as 5.6.x on the command line when you just launch

$ erl.
Anything below that is too old.

Cheers

I just installed CouchDB on a Debian VPS, and all appeared to go
well.  Once I start it, though, the console gives me errors like
this on every request.  I'm a bit stumped, what exactly is erroring
out here?:

Apache CouchDB 0.9.0a675285-incubating (LogLevel=info)
Apache CouchDB is starting.

Apache CouchDB has started. Time to relax.
