starting couchdb using rc.d script
sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/couchdb start
Starting database server couchdb
Apache CouchDB needs write permission on the PID file:
/usr/local/var/run/couchdb.pid
Error with database server: couchdb
What user should own /usr/local/var/run/couchdb.pid

I might be totally wrong about this, but you might want to make sure
couchdb is in the group that owns the run directory. When you do
figure it out, will you post back and let us know, so we can make the
docs clearer? Thanks!

Does your system have a user `couchdb`?

hat some interesting issues on FreeBSD as well, looks like the couchdb user
wants to have proper shell (/sbin/nologin did not work for some reason)

Hi,
> Apache CouchDB needs write permission on the PID file
I've had that issue a while back (see
http://markmail.org/message/752qrvsgqs6qplfo).
If I remember well I had a log stating write permission was required but it
actually required exec permission.
chmod 700 solved the issue in my case.
