schultzdavid opened a new issue, #5569:
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/5569
## Description
When choosing an admin password containing spaces during installation (or
rather, in the initial setup tool that gets opened then), I get the following
warning:
```
WARNING: Unable to create standalone system databases.
CouchDB may not have started correctly (no init?)
Once CouchDB has started correctly, run the following:
curl -X PUT http://<admin-user>:<admin-pass>@127.0.0.1:5984/_users
curl -X PUT http://<admin-user>:<admin-pass>@127.0.0.1:5984/_replicator
```
I ran into this when trying to install a YunoHost app relying on CouchDB,
with the result that the installation aborts with an error.
When choosing a password without spaces, no such error ever occurs.
## Steps to Reproduce
Install CouchDB on a fresh Debian Bookworm machine via the commands stated
in the [installation instructions from the
docs](https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/install/unix.html). In the console
setup dialog that gets opened, choose Standalone Installation, then as IP e.g.
127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0, and as admin password choose one that contains one or
more space characters.
## Expected Behaviour
Installation going through without errors/warnings about a possible
(probable) incorrect start-up of CouchDB
## Your Environment
* CouchDB version used: amd64 couchdb 3.5.0.~bookworm
* Operating system and version: Debian Bookworm 12.11 (tested both on a Dell
Wyse 5070 with an Intel J4105 64-bit CPU, and on a Raspberry Pi 3)
## Additional Context
This is the command I run and the full resulting console output when
choosing, in the intermittent setup dialog, a password containing spaces:
```
root@machine:/home/user# apt install -y couchdb
