Apache CouchDB 0.9.0a691361-incubating (LogLevel=info) is starting.

查了一下官方wiki:







原来是安装文件夹的权限问题















解决办法：







sudo adduser couchdb







chown -R couchdb:couchdb /usr/local/etc/couchdb 







chown -R couchdb:couchdb /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb 







chown -R couchdb:couchdb /usr/local/var/log/couchdb 







chown -R couchdb:couchdb /usr/local/var/run 







chmod -R 0770 /usr/local/etc/couchdb 







chmod -R 0770 /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb 







chmod -R 0770 /usr/local/var/log/couchdb 







chmod -R 0770 /usr/local/var/run















再此启动，看到欢迎界面，所有的testsuite run success,大功告成！
