Hi Laurin,
initially the thing is to run CouchDB via:
couchdb -i
which is interactive and will spit out some messages that might be helpful.
How are you starting it at the moment?
Do you see anything useful in your couch.log, and have you tried
setting local.ini [log] level=debug?
Cheers
Dave

Well, when you are using RHEL or CentOS with SELinux in restricted mode,
you use the setroubleshooter to see what´s happening
on the system.
You can follow the work of Dominick Grift (domg472@gmail.com) and Daniel
Walsh [1] (Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat, responsible for
SELinux development on the distribution) on the Fedora SELinux mailing
list [2], , because they were working on the update of the SELinux
policy to include support for CouchDB.

OK, that's good but it's not recommended for production servers.
SELinux does a great job protecting your applications deployed on RHEL and
derivatives.
So, if you can send the setroubleshooter's reports to analyze them here
with
a CC to selinux@lists.fedoraproject.org, It would awesome.
Regards and best wishes

What do you know, setting SELinux to diabled worked. Thanks so much.

Hi, Lauren. It's been a while since I used RHEL or CentOS heavily. Is
it possible that an SELinux setting is preventing something? Perhaps
you could confirm by rebooting with selinux disabled and seeing if
anything changes?
In general, I want to improve the build-couchdb experience on CentOS
so thanks very much for your feedback and patience.
Thanks!

I just don't understand. I don't get any error messages with couchdb -
i and level=debug, but I'm left hanging when I try to stop the erlang
shell. couchdb.log just shows that "Apache CouchDB has started on http://127.0.0.1:5984
". Any ideas for further debugging?
