[jira] [Created] (COUCHDB-1577) Refuse start when underlying Erlang version has changed

Jan Lehnardt created COUCHDB-1577:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Refuse start when underlying Erlang version has changed
                 Key: COUCHDB-1577
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1577
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.2
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Jan Lehnardt


When a user installs CouchDB from source and then updates the Erlang version on the system, spurious errors can occur (like COUCHDB-1571). On install, we should detect the Erlang version and store it with the CouchDB installation, and then bail if things don't match up during start time. I recon this could be coded entirely in bin/couchdb, no erlang required.

---------------------------------------

I recon that moving to proper OTP releases will solve this too.

This should be a quick interim-fix to make things easier for our users.
