If you put this:
export ERL_MAX_PORTS=1024
Into this:
/etc/default/couchdb
Then running this:
/etc/init.d/couchdb start
Would pick up the value in the first example, and pass it to Erlang.
So as far as I know, the CouchDB daemon is already configurable in the manner
you describe. If the above does not work, then it should, and that is a bug. If
you're not wanting to use the standard init system for CouchDB, then you are on
your own in terms of setting up the correct environment for whatever system you
have designed.
