Andrew Melo created COUCHDB-1512:
------------------------------------
Summary: Provide proper error if a hostname (and not an ip) is
used for bind_address
Key: COUCHDB-1512
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1512
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Andrew Melo
Priority: Minor
Currently, couch throws an opaque error message and doesn't bind the tcp port,
but the process doesn't die, so it's unclear what's happening. Preferably,
couch should raise an informative error message and die if an invalid
bind_address is passed
