Installing CouchDB on CentOS 5.6
I am having some issues with installing CouchDB on CentOS 5.6, can someone
please tell me what repositories or files/dependencies, I should have before
I install CouchDB 1.0.2. The EPEL repository only has version 0.11. Also is
there a good tutorial on this somewhere on the web other tha the Couch Wiki?
Regards,
Bade I.

I just updated the documentation. I am pretty sure the EPEL repos and
the ruby versions are not necessary anymore because all the Build
CouchDB code has been made backward-compatible.
Anyway, glad to hear it works; good luck!

Thanks Jason,
I finally succeeded in getting couchone/build-couchdb working, next time
I'll use iriscouch.
I didn't want to add the EPEL repo, so I built ruby 1.9.2 and git 1.7.0 from
scratch as well (it's turtles all the way down).
Thanks for build-couchdb - making this exquisitely painful installation
process merely mildly irritating :)
Now on to node...

Hi, Jim. A slightly newer version is at
https://github.com/iriscouch/build-couchdb. It has only minor
differences. Sorry for the confusion.
My feeling is build-couchdb is *easier* but not *easy* per se. Anyway,
I use it every day.
CentOS is a first-class platform for build-couchdb. If you (or anyone)
has issues, please let me know either by email or by a GitHub bug
report. Thanks!

Thanks Dave,
Looks like erlang can't find crypto:start/0:
** exception error: undefined function crypto:start/0
I'm stepping back to try build-couchdb[1] to see if that resolves the
issues. I'd totally be using Ubuntu if this wasn't for work, where we've
standardized on CentOS.

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/

That will likely help sort out what's failing.

Thanks Pasi - this is a great start.
After download/build/installing erlang, curl and couchdb, when I run couchdb
nothing happens. That is, it just hangs. ps shows that some erlang process
is running, but there's no stderr or stdout.
Did you run into this problem? Or, more generally, how do you troubleshoot
couchdb before it starts listening on 5984?
Thanks in advance for any help,

Re: Installing CouchDB on CentOS 5.6
Posted by Pasi Eronen <pe...@iki.fi>.
Probably the easiest way is to compile CouchDB yourself.
There's a build-couchdb script at https://github.com/couchone/build-couchdb,
which claims to work on RHEL, too.
My production environment doesn't like other repositories than official
RHEL, so I'm using a simple Makefile to build Erlang, Curl, and CouchDB
(in a separate directory to avoid conflicts with any RHEL Erlang/Curl packages),
with official "libicu" and "xulrunner" packages.
Basically something like this (slightly simplified):
Erlang:
- untar otp_src_R14B.tar.gz
- ./configure --prefix=$(DST)/erlang --without-termcap --without-javac
--enable-smp-support --disable-hipe
- make && make install
Curl:
- untar curl-7.21.2.tar.gz
- ./configure --prefix=$(DST)/curl
- make && make install
CouchDB:
- untar apache-couchdb-1.0.2.tar.gz
- ERL=$(DST)/erlang/bin/erl ERLC=$(DST)/erlang/bin/erlc
CURL_CONFIG=$(DST)/curl/bin/curl-config LDFLAGS=-L$(DST)/curl/lib
./configure --prefix=$(DST)/couchdb
--with-erlang=$(DST)/erlang/lib/erlang/usr/include/
--with-js-include=$(XULRUNNER_INCLUDE) --with-js-lib=$(XULRUNNER_LIB)
Best regards,
Pasi

Good luck with that. I gave up trying to install couch on centos back in
Nov 2010. The centos libraries were too old and missing too much. I posted
on several forums for help with no answers. I switched to ubuntu pretty
much to run couch. The situation may be better now but I doubt it.
