Config files dir & LOCALCONFDIR

[Luis F Urrea <lf...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I am working on building a habitat.sh package for CouchDB2.0 and make it
configurable.

I am having a hard time getting CouchDB reading from config files at a path
different from rel/couchdb/etc.

default.ini
local.ini

The documentation states this may be configured at buildtime through the
LOCALCONFDIR variable, but my findings tell me it mey not be the case
anymore.

I have searched through the code but can't quite figure out where this is
configured.

Your help is highly appreciated.

Best,

Luis

Hi Luis,

Our documentation around configuration needs updating, thanks for the report.

No need to change anything at build time - just at runtime.

export ERL_FLAGS="-couch_ini /myinstance1/default.ini /myinstance1/local.ini"
will work. You can also modify the etc/vm.args file to include these arguments.
