The problems caused by incorrect permissions can be very confusing. We should re-add the checks for these that used to be in the init script, but place them in CouchDB core. We need to do this so that the multiple configuration settings will be taken account for. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
