[jira] [Created] (COUCHDB-1586) couchdb should do sanity checks
early on for permissions issues
Dave Cottlehuber created COUCHDB-1586:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: couchdb should do sanity checks early on for permissions issues
Key: COUCHDB-1586
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1586
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Database Core
Affects Versions: 1.3
Reporter: Dave Cottlehuber
Assignee: Dave Cottlehuber
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.3
many early installation failures are due to missing permissions / access to key directories.
- couchdb shell script can check for these before the cryptic erlang VM barfs vomitus
- couch.erl and couch_app.erl could provide more details on missing erlang applications etc.
These are all quick fixes unless somebody has a better idea!
Any other suggestions?

----------------------------------------
+1 Want to avoid the worst case, IMO, which is when there is no message at all but CouchDB still doesn't start!
