[SOLVED] [couchdb] /etc/services
« on: November 25, 2010, 09:13:18 AM »
I keep on trying to make it work.
Executing:
Code: [Select]
/etc/init.d/couchdb start
seem to work, since "ps -A" shows 2 instances of "couchdb" (I don't know why), 1 instance of "beam" (related to erlang) and 1 instance of "heart" (I don't know what this is).

When I try to test if it is working by doing:
Code: [Select]
curl 127.0.0.1:5984
the answer is: "curl: (7) couldn't connect to host".

I suspect it might be related with not having in "/etc/services":
Code: [Select]
couchdb     5984/tcp

I wonder:
- How can I test if this is the problem? I mean, if I modify /etc/services, how can I make the TCL to re-read it.
- Secondly, would it be the best approach to modify /etc/services through the script on tce.installed?

Regards,
José M.

Install iana-etc, and if it works, add that to the dep file.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Thanks for your answer.

At the end the problem was related with the permissions being changed after loading couchdb. Not related with /etc/services, that it seems to be used only to assign a name to a port.
