CouchDB crashes upon startup.
Hi,
I am trying to run CouchDB off my own live CD. Write permissions were
given to directories /var/lib/couchdb and /var/log/couchdb (they are
on a writable filesystem). Root filesystem is resident in memory and
can be written. CouchDB runs as root, and home directory (/root) is
writable. Everything else is read-only.
CouchDB crashes upon startup. I have attached what it spits on output
(couch.stdout), Erlang runtime crash dump (gzipped), and a log found
in /var/log/couchdb.
Can these files tell about anything? I may suspect some file residing
on a read-only filesystem, but needs to be writable, or maybe some
path to library or executable is broken, etc.
Does there exist any utility to analyze such output?
CouchDB 0.7.2 from googlecode download area (not from SVN)
Erlang OTP R12B
ICU 3.8.1
Thanks.
PS Everything worked fine on the instrumental system. Differences
between the instrumental system and live CD are like this:
glibc v2.7 on instrumental, 2.6 on liveCD
ICU 3.8 on instrumental, 3.8.1 on liveCD
Erlang is full install on insrumental, kernel, sasl, stdlib only on liveCD.
The rest should be pretty close. Basically, instrumental system is
ArchLinux, liveCD is remastered ArchLinux FTP install CD.

Sorry, I don't know any diagnosis tool.

Thanks, I'll try to follow these advices. I am more interested though
to know how to diagnose these dumps/logs. Since this is a live CD, and
run environment/files layout differ from build environment, it is
possible that some directories are not on paths, or some symlinks are
incorrect. So, is there any way to get this from the output provided?

Look in src/CouchDB/couch.app for the authoritative list.

It appears the list of required modules I sent in the last mail was not
complete and we do rely on "xmerl" package as well.
There might be more by now, as I didn't touch that area for a while.
