freebsd 10 couchdb 1.6 wont start
Dear all,
I install couchdb 1.6 fresh from port of freebsd 10 and it won't start with the following errors:
-------
[couchdb@host1 ~]$ couchdb -i
Erlang/OTP 17 [erts-6.1] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [async-threads:4] [kernel-poll:true]
Eshell V6.1 (abort with ^G)

Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump
init terminating in do_boot ()
-------
People told me that error cause by incorrect permissions. I have corrected all permissions in /usr/local/etc/couchdb, /usr/local/share/couchdb, /var/db/couchdb, /var/log/couchdb, /usr/local/lib/couchdb to couchdb:couchdb
I even ensure that couchdb user has home to /usr/local/lib/couchdb --
http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/install/freebsd.html#installation-from-ports
-- above document shows that couchdb should not have home directory /sbin/nologin - it is a bit mess up to compare against
http://couchdb.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install/unix.html#security-considerations
---
I am at my wit ends. I am sure that there is bugs in installation script of couchdb 1.6 in freebsd 10! I have repeat the process multiple times.
Any help would be great.

Re: do we need a 1.6.1 ?
Posted by Dave Cottlehuber <dc...@jsonified.com>.
As discussed in today’s IRC catchup, I will prepare a 1.6.1 branch
before sneaking off for a long weekend, bringing us up to the last
commit, #ade9dae, before Bob’s Big(Couch) Merge commit to master.
This will be a bugfix release, I’m proposing a minimal change log:
- just 3 major commits, with smaller doc & fauxton updates:
d43f69d hash admin passwords on startup when list
3bcf664 Add Experimental Content-Security-Policy support (CSP) for Fauxton
95600b7 Send a real EventSource event for heartbeat
tarball prepped with docs, now a new one at
http://people.apache.org/~dch/snapshots/couchdb/20140814/
I’ll kick off the proper release process tonight.

AFAICT I’ve done the git merge[1] correctly, and the tarball[2] passes
verify install, distcheck is still running at 2am. These aren’t
official tarballs!
I haven’t gotten the docs & changes file done yet, so this is just
for those who care to check I got the merge right.
Tomorrow I should get the doc fixes done, hope make distcheck is
passing while I sleep…

My wording of this implies we broke something and then broke it again, that’s not
correct, however a number of users have tripped up on this (hence the again).
AFAICT #ade9dae is the last commit before the merge to pull 1.6.x up to date from,
so I will see how well this rebases to the 1.6.x branch today. Please let me know
if there’s anything further to go into this release.

Sounds sane.
Do we not have tests or something to catch this?

This is the `hash admin passwords on startup when list` fix again, which will
catch more & more people as time goes on. I’m wondering if we should do a 1.6.1
specifically due to this?

Re: freebsd 10 couchdb 1.6 wont start

Hi,
That was accidental bug which was fixed after release:
https://github.com/apache/couchdb/commit/d43f69d90740d5a230b0054fa32b6843b33691bc
TL;DR remove all the clear text passwords from ini file and set admins
via HTTP API to workaround the issue. This should help.
