Help with error

New installation of CouchDB 0.11.2.

Built a database, added a view.

Getting the following error in Futon when looking at the view:

{{badmatch,{error,eacces}},
  [{couch_file,init,1},{gen_server,init_it,6},{proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3}]}

Any thoughts on this error message? BTW, this worked perfectly on 
another server, same database and view.

Thank you for the pointer. Turns out the file .shell_design was not 
assigned to the couchdb user. Simple fix.

It looks like a file permissions error.
Perhaps you ran couchdb as root once and got bad permissions on the view
index?

Check that everything under your database and view directories are owned by
the user running couchdb. Generally this is the 'couchdb' user.
