ticket#25375 couchdb (rookie here)

[Daniel Terreros]

If anyone stumbles across this thread I wanted to give a step by step rookie
translation into getting this port to work. everyone has been so awesome to
help me and those like me

[After the fix its still missing default.d and local.d so maybe this keeps
it from being a dupe xD]

So for anyone who comes here from now on here is the step by step in pure
rookie terms to get couchdb up and running (assuming you are using the
default set up in your config file using "rsync.macports.org')

Follow this file path to where you need to make your changes


 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/databases/couchdb

Open the Portfile and add one line of code


patchfiles	patch-src-couchdb-couch_app.erl.diff

create a new file called "files" (no quotation marks)

in the "files" folder create a file named
"patch-src-couchdb-couch_app.erl.diff" which contains this code:


Index: src/couchdb/couch_app.erl
===================================================================
--- src/couchdb/couch_app.erl	(revision 955834)

 start(_Type, DefaultIniFiles) ->
     IniFiles = get_ini_files(DefaultIniFiles),
-    case start_apps([crypto, sasl, inets, oauth, ssl, ibrowse, mochiweb]) of
+    case start_apps([crypto, public_key, sasl, inets, oauth, ssl,
ibrowse, mochiweb]) of
     ok ->
         couch_server_sup:start_link(IniFiles);
     {error, Reason} ->

then


sudo port install couchdb

And it is time to relax

[final portfile should look something like this]
