Description of problem: After installing CouchDB on Fedora 19, starting it with systemctl and by running the executable directly fails. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.2.2-1.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install couchdb 2. Enable and run couchdb as root (systemctl start couchdb.service) 3. See the status as root (systemctl status couchdb.service) Actual results: Output with irrelevant stuff removed: couchdb.service - CouchDB Server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/couchdb.service; disabled) Active: failed (Result: start-limit) since ti 2013-05-21 15:45:00 EEST; 4s ago Process: 27184 ExecStart=/usr/bin/erl +Bd -noinput -sasl errlog_type error +K true +A 4 -couch_ini /etc/couchdb/default.ini /etc/couchdb/local.ini -s couch -pidfile /var/run/couchdb/couchdb.pid -heart (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) systemd[1]: couchdb.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE systemd[1]: Unit couchdb.service entered failed state. systemd[1]: couchdb.service holdoff time over, scheduling restart. systemd[1]: Stopping CouchDB Server... systemd[1]: Starting CouchDB Server... systemd[1]: couchdb.service start request repeated too quickly, refusing to start. systemd[1]: Failed to start CouchDB Server. systemd[1]: Unit couchdb.service entered failed state. Expected results: A success message. Additional info: Running the executable directly gives the following error message: {"init terminating in do_boot",{{badmatch,{error,{{app_would_not_start,mochiweb},{couch_app,start,[normal,["/etc/couchdb/default.ini","/etc/couchdb/local.ini"]]}}}},[{couch,start,0,[{file,"couch.erl"},{line,18}]},{init,start_it,1,[]},{init,start_em,1,[]}]}} init terminating in do_boot () I was able to get CouchDB running by first manually starting mochiweb from the Erlang command line (after first starting all of its dependencies), so the issue might be related to the erlang-mochiweb package rather than couchdb itself.

The issue is confirmed fixed (hopefully w/o adding a new ones). Sorry for this mess - I should have test all Erlang applications before upgrading to R16B. Could you please test the build mentioned in the above comment?
