Problems building/installing 0.11 on Solaris 10

[Matthew Sinclair-Day <ms...@gmail.com>]

I've built 0.11 for Solaris 10/x86, but I am running into 
problems getting couch to start.  The erlang process is running, 
but the web server does not appear to be.  Stdout and stderr are 
being created, but the pid file and normal log file are not.

I'm not sure how to peel back the layers.

Are there any debug modes that can be activated, or things I can 
check to make sure things are correctly in place?  More verbose 
logging?  Any pointers would be appreciated.

By the way, _add_config_dir() in bin/couchdb fails on solaris, 
at least with the "find" command installed by default in my 
environment; it does not like the -mindepth and -maxdepth 
options.  I have commented out this routine.

A few things to check:

- Put /usr/xpg4/bin or /usr/gnu/bin before /usr/bin in your PATH.
/usr/bin/sed in particular seems to fail in a few places in the make
files.  Rebuild couchdb.

- Remove the functions that use 'find ... -maxdepth ...' (you've
already done this)

- Remove anything hanging around in $PREFIX/lib/couchdb/erlang/lib

- Check src/couchdb/couch.app and ensure that the brackets and braces
are correctly balanced.  Another user on Solaris found that it was
needing another set of "]}" before the final ".".

What about using something like a Record Locator (http://search.cpan.org/~jesse/Number-RecordLocator/ 
  for some perl code, I have a python version somewhere...) to  
generate the _id?

Order Number generation

[Sebastien PASTOR <se...@gmx.com>]

Hello all, 
In my app, i create documents which are orders for goods. My problem is to be able to  to display  a "nice" order number to the customer. What i mean by nice is
basically not a UUID which is very long and not very easy to read. Would
anyone have a trick to handle this ? For instance using part of the UUID
could suffice ? I fear that all this comes down to the uniqueness issue
i have seen discussed in previous threads. ..

Thanks in advance
