Hi,

#1 remove the update_notification section from the ini file.
#2 nothing will happen until you query your fulltext view, just the
same as couchdb views.

I'm working on packaging 0.5 for a release so I'll be ensuring that
log output goes to a sensible location for most installations (from
source, from .deb/.rpm, whatever)
