I have successfully installed couchdb1.0.2 on CnetOS 5.5 , with erlang 5.8 . But after I input the command "couchdb start" under the folder "rc.d" or "logrotate.d" ,I cann't visit couchdb by curl http://127.0.0.1:5984 and curl was closed by host , at last I found port 5984 not opened at all! In the couchdb.log,I get the following message: [Thu, 03 Mar 2011 14:03:10 GMT] [error] [<0.85.0>] {error_report,<0.30.0>, {<0.85.0>,supervisor_report, [{supervisor,{local,couch_secondary_services}}, {errorContext,start_error}, {reason,{{badmatch,{error,eacces}}, [{couch_auth_cache,ensure_users_db_exists,2}, {couch_auth_cache,open_auth_db,0}, {couch_auth_cache,init,1}, {gen_server,init_it,6}, {proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3}]}}, {offender,[{pid,undefined}, {name,auth_cache}, {mfargs,{couch_auth_cache,start_link,[]}}, {restart_type,permanent}, {shutdown,1000}, {child_type,worker}]}]}} [Thu, 03 Mar 2011 14:03:10 GMT] [error] [<0.87.0>] {error_report,<0.30.0>, {<0.87.0>,crash_report, [[{initial_call,{couch_auth_cache,init,['Argument__1']}}, {pid,<0.87.0>}, {registered_name,[]}, {error_info, {exit, {{badmatch,{error,eacces}}, [{couch_auth_cache,ensure_users_db_exists,2}, {couch_auth_cache,open_auth_db,0}, {couch_auth_cache,init,1}, {gen_server,init_it,6}, {proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3}]}, [{gen_server,init_it,6},{proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3}]}}, {ancestors,[couch_secondary_services,couch_server_sup,<0.31.0>]}, {messages,[]}, {links,[<0.85.0>]}, {dictionary,[]}, {trap_exit,false}, {status,running}, {heap_size,377}, {stack_size,24}, {reductions,149}], []]}} [Thu, 03 Mar 2011 14:03:11 GMT] [error] [<0.77.0>] {error_report,<0.30.0>, {<0.77.0>,supervisor_report, [{supervisor,{local,couch_server_sup}}, {errorContext,start_error}, {reason,shutdown}, {offender, [{pid,undefined}, {name,couch_secondary_services}, {mfargs,{couch_server_sup,start_secondary_services,[]}}, {restart_type,permanent}, {shutdown,infinity}, {child_type,supervisor}]}]}} . However ,when I run "couchdb" under folder "bin" ,erverything is ok! Is there anyone who knows the reason why I cann't run "couchdb start" under "rc.d"?
