 I got couchdb to work...weirdly...with some help from the irc guys and pu=
rge remove the old one.

But I still have to go to the directory and type sudo ./couchdb start to=
 get it to start
and it won't startup with the server. So still some permission or director=
y issues.


As to your questions.

I'm userdan not root

I can ls -la a directory but don't know where the database directory is.
