Starting CouchDB on Ubuntu (trunk rev 821585)
Hi there,
I have some trouble getting CouchDB to start.
I have a local Ubuntu (Linux duke 2.6.28-15-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue
Aug 18 18:40:08 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux) and CouchDB trunk (rev 821585).
As usual, I followed the advice in the README (adduser, chmod, chown).
Now starting CouchDB:
$ sudo -i -u couchdb couchdb -b
Apache CouchDB has started, time to relax.
$ ps -ef
couchdb 9203 1 0 21:21 pts/1 00:00:00 /bin/sh -e
/usr/local/bin/couchdb -a /usr/local/etc/couchdb/default.ini -a /
couchdb 9212 9203 0 21:21 pts/1 00:00:00 /bin/sh -e
/usr/local/bin/couchdb -a /usr/local/etc/couchdb/default.ini -a /
couchdb 9213 9212 4 21:21 pts/1 00:00:00
/usr/local/lib/erlang/erts-5.7.3/bin/beam -Bd -K true -- -root /usr/local/li
couchdb 9218 9213 0 21:21 ? 00:00:00 heart -pid 9213 -ht 11
but:
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:5984
curl: (7) couldn't connect to host
and
$ sudo -i -u couchdb couchdb -d
Apache CouchDB is not running.
Any idea what's going wrong? I did the same in the office on a VM Debian
Lenny without having any problems.
Thanks a lot in advance
Cheers
Andy Wenk

What's the IP you listed for the bind_address? Did you perhaps specify
something like 192.168.10.1? If so that means CouchDB isn't listening
on 127.0.0.1.
To check if the port is open, try:
$ netstat -tap tcp | grep 5984

I had a similar problem, where if there were old versions of couchdb lying
around it would end up trying to start components from a wrong (old)
version, and would freeze before it bound to port 5984.

Hi Paul,
In my case it was more or less what you mention. I installed CouchDB
from the repository, and then I installed erlang. That caused it to
crash. Once I removed Erlang, it was working. I had two conflicting
versions of erlang.

Fidel.

I was going on the theory that you build CouchDB with one version of
Erlang, upgraded Erlang, tried rebuilding again, but the previous
build artefacts prevented anything from building. The, running .beam
files with a different version of Erlang made things hurt. That sounds
not to be the case though.

Hm, I am not sure which Erlang Version is shipped with a newly installed
Lenny (maybe two months old ...). And I am quite sure that this was the
first CouchDB installaton on this machine. But does this matter anyway?
I thought if compiling first Erlang newly and then CouchDB it should be
linked to this Erlang version ... ?
Actually I removed everything completely. Means rm the source folder
where I compiled Erlang and CouchDB. Means IMHO there have been no files
left for CouchDB.

What version of Erlang did you originally upgrade from? Perhaps you
had a version of CouchDB compiled with an old version of Erlang that
was causing issues? Ie, no make clean left CouchDB beam files?

Hi ,
ok this is kind of strange. Yesterday I announced that I will uninstall
both erlang R13B01 and couchdb trunk. Actually I thought maybe I first
only uninstall Erlang and install R13B02-1. So I downloaded it newly and
compiled it. And then - tatata:
$ sudo -i -u couchdb couchdb -b
Apache CouchDB has started, time to relax.
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:5984
{"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"0.11.0b821618"}
It work's. I don't know, but maybe it got something to do that CouchDB
trunk was compiled with installed R13B01 and it's librarys. That would
mean, that upgrading Erlang (or new install) to R13B02-1 works but a
complete new installation of both does not ...
To get more light into this, I uninstalled couchdb and reinstalled it
again from source with existing R13B02-1. The result:
$ sudo -i -u couchdb couchdb -b
Apache CouchDB has started, time to relax.
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:5984
{"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"0.11.0b822006"}
It works also. Ok remove both completely and reinstall ...
$ sudo -i -u couchdb couchdb -b
Apache CouchDB has started, time to relax.
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:5984
{"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"0.11.0b822019"}
Running - so to be honest - I can't reproduce yesterdays the behaviour.
Cheers
Andy

R13B02 just work here on freebsd 7.2. will let you know about latest

ok - that means that I will uninstall and reinstall couch and erlang
(R13B02) again (can do that tonight) to hopefully get an idea what is
going wrong. Unfortunately I just can do that again and say if it worked
or not. If you (Paul, Chris) have any advice for debugging just drop me
a note - I will try to report then ...
If you found a reason in the meantime please keep me informed also ;-)

Glad you got it working. I had a similar issue with the R13B02 build
of CouchDBX on a Leopard Mac Mini, and switching to R13B01 got it to
work.
Wish I'd seen the thread earlier.

I have installed Erlang R13B01 and couchdb trunk. Directly after
installing both I entered
$ couchdb
The result is the attached crashreport.
I think the reason are the missing rights ... so I don't worry too much
about that ...
Ok - doing it with sudo:
$ sudo couchdb
Apache CouchDB 0.11.0b821618 (LogLevel=info) is starting.
Apache CouchDB has started. Time to relax.
[info] [<0.32.0>] Apache CouchDB has started on http://127.0.0.1:5984/
[info] [<0.95.0>] 127.0.0.1 - - 'GET' / 200
(other shell)
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:5984
{"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"0.11.0b821618"}
So with this Erlang version trunk seems to run.
Then I chmod and chown the directorys and did it with the couchdb user:
$ sudo -i -u couchdb couchdb -b
Apache CouchDB has started, time to relax.
duke@duke:~$ curl http://127.0.0.1:5984
{"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"0.11.0b821618"}
So the conclusion 'could' be that trunk did not run with the newest
Erlang version. If it helps, I could uninstall both Erlang and CouchDB
again, install the latest Erlang version again, install CouchDB again to
see if the error is still there. Then it would be save to say that
CouchDB trunk is not running with the latest Erlang version - in my
environment.

Unfortunately the results are the same. So what I will do is to
uninstall erlang and couchdb and install it again. How knows, maybe
there is something what went wrong. If the problems are the same, I will
downgrade erlang to the version before. I hope that at least this will
make it work.
I will keep you informed.

Jan had the thought that this could be a weird lib conflict in Erlang.
Try blowing away /usr/local/lib/erlang and going back to the Erlang
source tree and re-running 'sudo make install' and see if that fixes
things.

Maybe this is not a normal behaviour. You can see that I stopped after NULL.
I hope it helps ...

To be honest, I have absolutely no idea. And I'm running out of ideas
on how best to start figuring out what's going on here.
The only thing I can think of is to start tearing into the init
scripts and boot sequence bit by bit until you find something
surprising. And by that I mean:
Find the exact erl command used to start couchdb by echoing from the script.
Run that directly, see if it gives any usable info.
If not, start tearing into the startup procedure with Erlang print
statements to see where it gets to.
That's obviously not a lot of awesome, but I really can't think of
anything better right now.
Oh, though, you might throw an strace in to see if the VM is halting
on something tragic. Something like:
$ sudo su - couchdb
$ strace -f couchdb
You'll want to put that output on friendpaste or somewhere though
rather than directly in the email cause it should be fairly large.

No luck - no output
...
it creates development ini files as well as a
./tmp structure for development runtime files.
Use ./utils/run to launch CouchDB from the source tree.
mkdir -p ./tmp/lib
mkdir -p ./tmp/log
mkdir -p ./tmp/run
duke@duke:/tmp/couchdb-trunk$ ./utils/run
I made sure that no other couch processes are running.
Do you think it's a bug or misconfiguration in my system? Waht should I
do to help finding the solution?
Cheers
Andy

You could try R13B01, but like I say, I haven't heard of anyone else
having R13B02 issues.
Can you try make dev and ./utils/run in the CouchDB source tree?
# edit ./etc/couchdb/local_dev.ini setting log level to debug
$ make dev
$ ./utils/run
See what that gives

ps -ef shows no couchdb processes are running.
$ sudo su - couchdb

Should I uninstall Erlang and CouchDB and install it again with a lower
Erlang version? Just to see what happens ?
Thanks for examination ;-)

What in the world. R13B02 should be just fine. I haven't heard any
complaints by people upgrading.
I assume this won't give much newness, but maybe:
$ sudo su - couchdb
$ couchdb -i
Also, double check that there's not another Couch instance running.

Nothing? You did update the log level right? Quite odd that there's
nothing written.
Can you run Erlang?

Huh. Try this:
# Update local.ini and set the log level to debug
$ sudo su - couchdb
$ couchdb
And paste the output from that.

What is the output when you don't use -b?
What is the contents of couchdb.stdout and couchdb.stderr?

I have actually experienced the same as you on the same environment. I
didn't install from the trunk, but from the repositories.
What I did was install couchdb with apt-get install couchdb, and when
I installed erlang this problem came up.
So, I think it has to do with the version of the erlang interpreter,
because as soon as I removed it, couchdb was running again.
I haven't really played much with couchdb, but it was nice you raised
this issue as I am using the same environment as you and I will start
playing with couchdb soon.
If you happen to find out the real cause, please report back your experience.
Regards,
Fidel.
