Any idea how to proceed?

In order to try to get to the bottom of this, I looked in the log files.

In there I find the following message immediately on starting couchdb:-

[error] [<0.49.0> OS Process died with status: 127
[error] [<0.49.0>] ** Generic server <0.49.0> terminating
** last message was in {#Port<0,791>,{exit_status,127}}
** when server state == {os_proc,"wireless",#Port<0,791>,
                                                
#Fun<couch_os_process.0.126981527>,
                                                
#Fun<couch_os_process.1.97144965,5000}
** reason for termination ==
** {exit status,127}

There are then a whole series of other messages, and this wireless message
seems to be repeated often.

This is a brand new install, what is it trying to do and why has it died?
And why it is referencing "wireless"?

Which operating system is that on?

CouchDB doesn't come wit anything "wireless", is that something on your end? Can you paste your .ini files and the complete logfile? The os_proc token almost always leads to a broken Spidermonkey installation or couchjs build as a result
of the first thing.
