Ubuntu 16.04 Couchdb 1.6.1 fresj install

Hi,

I just installed Couchdb 1.6.1 from apt on Ubuntu 16.04 but I'm stucksince
I changed the port to make CouchDB listen on port 80.
I already faced this problem on Ubuntu 12.04 with an install from source
and I just replaced the user in /usr/local/etc/default/couchdb :
COUCHDB_USER=root
But with this apt install I tough just editing /etc/init/couchdb.conf and
change exec su couchdb -c /usr/bin/couchdb  TO exec su root -c
/usr/bin/couchdb  will make it but it did not.
The error I got when I run "sudo couchdb" is

Apache CouchDB 1.6.1 (LogLevel=info) is starting.
Apache CouchDB has started. Time to relax.
[info] [<0.33.0>] Apache CouchDB has started on http://0.0.0.0:80/

                         ['Argument__1','Argument__2','Argument__3',
                          'Argument__4']}},

                            ["/etc/couchdb/default.ini",
                             "/etc/couchdb/local.ini"]]}},
                         [{application_master,init,4,
                           [{file,"application_master.erl"},{line,134}]},
                          {proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3,
                           [{file,"proc_lib.erl"},{line,240}]}]}},
                       {ancestors,[<0.31.0>]},
                       {messages,[{'EXIT',<0.33.0>,normal}]},
                       {links,[<0.31.0>,<0.7.0>]},
                       {dictionary,[]},
                       {trap_exit,true},
                       {status,running},
                       {heap_size,987},
                       {stack_size,27},
                       {reductions,153}],
                      []]}}
{"init terminating in
do_boot",{{badmatch,{error,{enoent,{couch_app,start,[normal,["/etc/couchdb/default.ini","/etc/couchdb/local.ini"]]}}}},[{couch,start,0,[{file,"couch.erl"},{line,18}]},{init,start_it,1,[]},{init,start_em,1,[]}]}}

So I tried to create the couch.uri file and then I could start couchdb on
port 80 but only with the command "sudo couchdb". The service "sudo
systemctl restart couchdb" is not able to start couchdb and when I try it
the couch.uri is deleted and so one... How to fix this properly ? I know I
could rewrite port 80 to 5984 using apache2 or nginx but I want to figure
out what is going on and I'd like to make it work.

Thanks for any hints.

Max.

I’m not sure how ubuntu’s apt package setups things, but ‘enoent’ error indicates none existing file, so judging by error trace you are missing both /etc/couchdb/default.ini and /etc/couchdb/local.ini configs and service just failing to start.

Not sure if this will answer your specific question, but I found this gist
very useful for setting up my Ubuntu 16.04 CouchDB server:
