Hi Rinat,
Thanks for that.
Looking at what errors are there suggests you *might* have more than one
erlang version installed, or that a previous installation hasn't been
successfully removed. Try rm -rf both erlang and couchdb dirs, confirm
with 'which erl' that there's no other existing installation, and build
them from scratch again from a fresh tarball. The build script looks
sensible enough.
To have a better idea of what's not working, I'd need to see *full*
output of the build -- from unpacking the tarball, through running
configure (what options, how erlang was detected/selected) as well as
the build steps for couchdb too.
To be honest if you're not comfortable yet with installing software from
source then I'd suggest using a web hosting company that runs ubuntu and
allows you to install couchdb via 'apt-get install -y couchdb' -- latest
14.04 would be perfect, or alternatively the 12.04 LTS release, and use
the packaged binaries at
https://blogs.apache.org/couchdb/entry/packages_for_ubuntu_12_04 which
will get you up and running very quickly. Amazon EC2 is one example of
many with this, and they offer a free micro plan for new signups
https://aws.amazon.com/free/
Trying to debug a failed install on a shared hosting platform is not
very productive for either of us :-)
A+

Thanks Dave, I tried with re-written instructions, but had errors building
CouchDB here a link<https://docs.google.com/document/d/15MWPUjwVot2Mi4XLHxqKnY0ssIn4QnJxLq6f-Ua7wwU/edit?usp=sharing>for
log.
Googled, it recommends to recompile with OTP R14B04, erl gives:
Erlang R14B04 (erts-5.8.5) [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [rq:8]
[async-threads:0] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]
Eshell V5.8.5 (abort with ^G)

instruction I used.
What went wrong?

Sorry, didn't know about attachments. Here

Honestly I don't have background with erlang and run scripts one another, I
mean it could have errors before starting.
I will be very happy if could decrypt what this dump at start means.
Thanks.
Hi Rinat,
Did you get these intructions from somewhere particular? They’re quirky.
I’d recommend using Erlang OTP R14B04 in preference BTW. The instructions won’t change.
A few changes:
> http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/js-1.8.0-rc1.tar.gz
use http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/js185-1.0.0.tar.gz instead. It’s the
latest version that CouchDB supports.
This copying of spidermonkey bits around looks dodgy, it should be possible to pass a
`—with-js-include` to couchdb’s ./configure script to detect this without copying bits
around. See https://community.webfaction.com/questions/557/installing-couchdb/14839
for one way to do this.
> wget http://www.takeyellow.com/apachemirror/couchdb/0.9.1/apache-couchdb-1.5.1.tar.gz
weird URL that doesn’t work for me, but
http://tweedo.com/mirror/apache/couchdb/source/1.5.1/apache-couchdb-1.5.1.tar.gz
should be fine.
https://community.webfaction.com/questions/557/installing-couchdb/14839
While you’re ssh’d into the server building these components from scratch, please keep the logfiles handy.
If this fails at some point, we can use those to work out what’s failed.
Good luck :-)

Hi Rinat,
welcome :)
First - what is webfaction? And secondly, which instructions "below" do you
mean? Most attachments will be removed when senden them to the
mailing-list. So better paste a link.
Cheers
