Couchdb 1.0.1 etc / init.d / couchdb launches a password request

Question

I created the user “couchdb” and installed couchdb 1.0.1 from the source, I also gave permission for the user “couchdb”, as indicated in http://chrismckee.co.uk/setting-up-couchdb-on-ubuntu/ . Also, instead of setting couchdb in the default location, I used the prefix option to change the location. Now when I run the couchdb form, the installed path asks for a password. I did not set a password during installation. Can someone please let couchdb create a default password or how to disable the password.

early.

Answer 1

Use "/ yourlocation / bin / couchdb" to start the CouchDB instance instead of "/yourlocation/etc/init.d/couchdb start"

Answer 2

As of 1.0.1, just using "couchdb -b" worked for me. (-b = appears as a background process)
