Comment 26 for bug 1212481

Seems like CouchDB 1.4.0 on 13.10 (I'm using Mint 16 though) crashes even on a clean install :(

dmesg shows:

[ 2107.500012] init: couchdb main process (11934) terminated with status 1
[ 2107.500061] init: couchdb main process ended, respawning

[ 2110.870964] init: couchdb respawning too fast, stopped

but there's nothing in /var/log/couchdb

starting manually gives:

> sudo -u couchdb couchdb
{"init terminating in do_boot",{{badmatch,{error,{bad_return,{{couch_app,start,[normal,["/etc/couchdb/default.ini","/etc/couchdb/local.ini"]]},{'EXIT',{{badmatch,{error,{error,enoent}}},[{couch_server_sup,start_server,1,[{file,"couch_server_sup.erl"},{line,56}]},{application_master,start_it_old,4,[{file,"application_master.erl"},{line,269}]}]}}}}}},[{couch,start,0,[{file,"couch.erl"},{line,18}]},{init,start_it,1,[]},{init,start_em,1,[]}]}}
init terminating in do_boot ()

is there existing bug report for this? using couchdb 1.4.0-0ubuntu1
