can't run couchdb run as couchdb user / only root works
Hi,
I installed couchdb 1.6.1 on *debian 8.0, armv7l* mostly according to
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COUCHDB/Debian
http://docs.couchdb.org/en/1.6.1/install/unix.html
*unfortunately it runs only as root, not as couchdb user although **I
followed the instructions for ownership and permissions*, especially:
|sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/{lib,etc}/couchdb
/usr/local/var/{lib,log,run}/couchdb
|
|sudo chown -R couchdb:couchdb /usr/local/{lib,etc}/couchdb
/usr/local/var/{lib,log,run}/couchdb|
|sudo chmod -R g+rw /usr/local/{lib,etc}/couchdb
/usr/local/var/{lib,log,run}/couchdb|
--> *all couchdb directories and their content under /usr/local are
owned by couchdb.couchdb*.
When starting couchdb as couchdb user I get:
couchdb@localhost:~$ couchdb
Apache CouchDB 1.6.1 (LogLevel=info) is starting.

I think you are right when the browser is the runtime environment you
have in mind (and sorry ;-) i'm blind for all mentions of "couchbase")
But Android is used for a growing number of cheap but more and more
powerful devices. I think we should have an eye on it - IMO it will turn
into an interesting AND serious use case. If i see a wider adoption in
production i will definitely try to push that into the CouchDBs
marketing channel. Par example i know a pilot project of a german
windmill farm - they test CouchDB for the embed systems on top of
android. I would love to see more CouchDB's in such innovative and
future-orientated products!

Hi,
I found the solution myself, It's not related to couchdb but I'll send
the solution here anyway so that it's documented.
As said I'm running couchdb on ARM, to be more precise, I'm running
couchdb on an android phone in a debian chroot environment.
Apparently android requires special permissions for opening a socket,
see for example https://yeri.be/socket-permission-denied
The solution of my problem was as simple as this:
# addgroup --gid 3003 aid_inet
# adduser couchdb aid_inet
afterwards I could run couchdb as couchdb user.
