Fedora 19 couchdb package startup script not supports the new ini placements, defined since version 10. Referred: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Breaking_changes#Changes_Between_0.9.x_and_0.10.0 Example Put a config file in /etc/couchdb/local.d/ /etc/couchdb/local.d/mydb.ini Only the snatdards aare started
couchdb used to be run with the sysv init script which launched the service via /bin/couchdb script. /bin/couchdb contains: _add_config_dir () { for file in "$1"/*.ini; do if [ -r "$file" ]; then _add_config_file "$file" fi done } The systemd .service bypasses /bin/couchdb and attempts to run it directly. It seems this mostly works except it is unable to support expected things like the /etc/couchdb/default.d and /etc/couchdb/local.d directories. It may seem like a shame to change the systemd service to use /bin/couchdb since most of its service handling code is redundant. It appears however that running couchdb without /bin/couchdb is not fully supported by upstream. I am submitting proposed changes to Peter Lemenkov.
I tried running /bin/couchdb instead of erl directly in the systemd service file and things broke horribly with many additional SELinux denials. I do not recommend that as a solution. Perhaps simplest would be a systemd-specific shell script to launch the service from systemd.
(Upstream said they plan on dropping the /bin/couchdb script in a future version, so patching it isn't a good solution.)
