Problems installing CouchDB 1.2.0 in Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS Server (lucid)
Hi,
I am having trouble installing Couchdb 1.2.0 in Ubuntu 10.04. Please find
the log here:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1202193/
I am installing spidermonkey from source.
The same procedure has worked in Ubuntu 8.04.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Daniel

Oh yeah. su refused to run CouchDB because I have CouchDB's shell set to
/bin/false. The wiki suggests you give the user a shell but I didn't think
that was a good idea. So that's my work around :-)
There is probably a better way to do the whole thing but I don't know what
it would be... :-)

Sorry, I specifically meant providing a shell to the user in the init.d
script.

Not sure if I follow you. I think build-couchdb is doing the right thing.
Without GeoCouch it would just require making a user, a group, and a
directory (or not even that if you aren't doing it for production). With
GeoCouch, I also have to load GeoCouch in the couchdb script because the
initscript uses "su" to run it as the user I created, so I can't pass the
ERL_FLAGS in the environment.

Keith,
Do you think we should make this change to the distributed script?

Re: Problems installing CouchDB 1.2.0 in Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS Server (lucid)

I just installed CouchDB 1.2 in precise using build-couchdb (with
GeoCouch). Here's my command line:
sudo mkdir /opt/couchdb
sudo chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu /opt/couchdb
rake \
plugins="git://github.com/couchbase/geocouch.gitorigin/couchdb1.2.x" \
install=/opt/couchdb
Later, I add a couchdb user and chown -R couchdb:couchdb /opt/couchdb.
And I addded this line to the top of /opt/couchdb/bin/couchdb (under the
comment block):
export ERL_FLAGS="$ERL_FLAGS -pa
/opt/couchdb/lib/couchdb/plugins/geocouch.git/ebin"
And I symlinked the /opt/couchdb/etc stuff into /etc where it's supposed to
go. I had to modify the init script to provide a shell in the su command
like so:
if su $COUCHDB_USER -s /bin/sh -c "$command"; then
The reason was that I don't give CouchDB a shell, so we have to give it one
in the command line or else -c doesn't work. Probably a better way to do
this. Let me know if I messed up.
Annnd... everything works great. I suggest using build-couchdb since it
does everything you need. (And if any IrisCouch people are listening -
supporting CouchDB Lucene on your service is worth paying monthly for your
service... the only reason I'm messing with this is because IrisCouch does
everything BUT CouchDB Lucene.)
