I just did svn update and rebuild as usual: $ svn info Path: . URL: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/couchdb/trunk Repository Root: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf Repository UUID: 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68 Revision: 767226 ...
$ ./bootstrap && ./configure && make && sudo make install Now couchdb won't start at all from its init script. $ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/couchdb start * Starting database server couchdb [ OK ] $ ps auxwww | grep couch brian 27081 0.0 0.0 3008 776 pts/1 S+ 18:06 0:00 grep couch $ /usr/local/var/log/couchdb/couch.log is not written to at all (its timestamp is still yesterday's) If I `rm /usr/local/var/run/couchdb/couchdb.pid` then it is recreated, but is a one-byte file containing just a newline. However it works fine if I start like this: $ sudo su - couchdb $ couchdb Apache CouchDB 0.9.0a767213 (LogLevel=info) is starting. Apache CouchDB has started. Time to relax. [info] [<0.1.0>] Apache CouchDB has started. (giving me normal logs to the console) This is under Ubuntu Hardy plus Erlang from Intrepid. Any clues? Regards, Brian.
