Wow. Really happy to see that you had such an easy time installing CouchDB!
I'm looking forward to reading the rest of your CouchDB series. If you have any trouble with CouchDB please do step into the #couchdb IRC channel on freenode. We're there most of the time, tending toward the US morning, as a lot of the participants are on European time.
I hope you have as much success getting to hello world on your first application as you did with installation!

Hi Chris, thank you!
You know what? In all my 28 years of existing, i have never once been in an IRC. Maybe it's time to confront my fear and give it a try!

@Aimee, Twitter is enough of a time-sink if you are sensitive to that ;) But welcome on IRC, if you like. Also, keep it up, this series looks very promising already.

Hey Aimee, glad you found the install instructions easy to follow.
Sorry about the little problem when you start up CouchDB, that's actually a bug with the documentation that I fixed this week.
To correct the problem on your system, open the /etc/passwd file as root and find the line corresponding to the CouchDB user and replace /var/lib/couchdb with /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb

Aha, great, i thought there would be an easy fix for it. It's not a problem anyway; the service still runs just fine. Thanks for the clarification.

Your blog helped clear up why i couldn't start up couchdb bon osx.....the apache site is useless at giving CRUCIAL information like that.
