I have a Centos 6.4 x64 server with epel repo enabled. I installed couchdb via the yum package manager (version 1.0.4) with no errors. I edited the /etc/couchdb/local.ini file with my port (default 5984) and server ip address. Whenever I run the service couchdb start, it returns the ok message:
Starting couchdb: [ OK ]
However, if I run a service couchdb status right after, I get this:
couchdb dead but pid file exists
and, of course, the server does not work.
The weird part is that service couchdb start always returns the success message, although the server never actually runs. Also, there is no log files created at all by couchdb (my /var/log/couchdb/ folder is empty - doubled checked couchdb configuration files for the path).
When I delete the /var/run/subsys/couchdb.pid file, service shows couchdb as not started, and when I try to restart couchdb (service couchdb start), I get the success message again and so on.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. :)
EDIT: I forgot to mention that when I run couchdb it works fine (giving me only this warning warning: "TODO: max is currently unsupported"), so it is just the service that doesn't work.
