Wilson (jimbojw) Common issues are missing permisssions or erlang modules that prevent the erlang vm from getting to start couch, or incorrect spidermonkey / xulrunner bits. By using couchdb -i this then provides you with access to the erlang shell as it starts. Then try: crypto:start(). couch:start(). which on my working system shows: Apache CouchDB has started. Time to relax. [info] [<0.36.0>] Apache CouchDB has started on http://0.0.0.0:5984/ 1> crypto:start(). {error,{already_started,crypto}} 2> couch:start(). {error,{already_started,couch}} 3> That will likely help sort out what's failing. Also check out if you've not already: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_SpiderMonkey http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_OSX for permissions issus A+ Dave
