Hi again! Is the issue I'm describing something that hasn't to do with couchdb in order to try my luck to some erlang mailing list or is it a realy strange problem that nobody have seen it before? At least does anyone have a clue on where I should start looking? As I can understand it may have not to do with couchdb but with erlang but as I'm a newbie to both I don't have a starting point!
Kind regards Yoryos ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, Dec 21, 2008 at 17:23 Hi all, I'm trying to install Couchdb on my windows machine. Right now I'm just exploring the possibilities of the db and as a newbie I followed the instructions found at the wiki page ( http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Windows). First of all I should ask some questions. As I've seen in the lib folder of the elrlang all the libraries (or at least most of them) have their compiled files (.beam) at their ebin subdirectory. So why we are putting the line {'./couchdb/*', [{outdir,"../bin"}]}. at the Emakefile before compiling couchdb? Anyway (I tried both ebin and bin as the output directory) but when I try a couch_server:start(). the first time I got a function not found exception. Adding the path to the erlang vm (using code:add_patha) was the solution but then again I had the error the the couch.ini couldn't be found. Here I have to mention that when I compiled couchdb having the ebin as the output folder I didn't have to call code:add_path("path"). before calling couch_server:start(). Now calling the couch_server:start(). function when I'm at the folder where the couch.ini file exists I get the following message: Apache CouchDB 0.0.0 (LogLevel=info) > Apache CouchDB is starting. > > Apache CouchDB has started. Time to relax. > althought the version I've downloaded is 0.8.1 but futon seems to work just fine until I tried to run the tests when most of them faild. Any hints about what is going on here? The version of erlang I'm using is 5.6.5 Thank you in advance! Yoryos PS> I'm newbie to both erlang and couchdb
