CouchDB from RPM on RHEL 5.5 stuck in crash loop when run as a background process

Hi.

I've installed CouchDB from an RPM onto RHEL 5.5, and it works fine when run simply as "couchdb" as both root and user couchdb, however when tried to run as a background process using /etc/init.d/couchdb, it simply runs for a few seconds, crashes, starts back up and crashes again.

The error log simply shows;

heart: Wed Feb 16 11:18:41 2011: heart-beat time-out.
heart: Wed Feb 16 11:18:42 2011: Executed "/usr/bin/couchdb -k". Terminating.
heart_beat_kill_pid = 890
heart_beat_timeout = 11

over and over without any useful information.

I made sure couchdb user owns everything related to couchdb with no success.

Thanks.
