[jira] Resolved: (COUCHDB-11) CouchDB should handle errors when opening port gracefully

Chris Anderson resolved COUCHDB-11.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

This seems to have been fixed for a few weeks now. The failure message prints as:

Failure to start Mochiweb: eaddrinuse

Which is not the prettiest, but will work for any Mochiweb error. We could add a lookup table with pretty error message, but for now I think this is informative enough.

> ATM CouchDB crashes loud and hard when it tries to open a port that is not
> available. There should be some error handling code in place that produces
> a nice message like so:
> "Could not open port %d: %s" % (port_number, message)
> Obviously, the above is written in Python - but you get the idea.
