Couchdb 'init terminating in do_boot' error in Ubuntu 14.04

I installed couchdb in Ubuntu 14.04 using apt-get.

When i try to run it, i get the following error:

{"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,[]}]}}

What am I doing wrong?

My environment is Erlang: R16B03 in ubuntu 14.04. I use nginx (with ssl enabled). Should I do anything specific with my nginx configuration file?

When i do couchdb -b, I get:

Apache CouchDB needs write permission on the PID file: /var/run/couchdb/couchdb.pid

And, when I do sudo chown -R couchdb /var/run/couchdb, I get the following:

chown: cannot access ‘/var/run/couchdb’: No such file or directory

You are trying to change the owner of the couchdb directory under /var/run however it doesn't exist yet.

Create the directory with:

sudo mkdir /var/run/couchdb

you can then run your change owner command

sudo chown -R couchdb /var/run/couchdb
