14 years ago the eaddreinuse tells you, you have a service running on the Port you are trying to start CouchDB on. The default port is 5984 and you might just have another CouchDB running already :)
rebooted the machine - released the port - seems to be running
Just downloaded the latest 1-click Mac install. Unzipped, doubleclicked, got a window running Erlang, which immediately displayed: 1> Apache CouchDB 0.11.0 (LogLevel=info) is starting. 1> Failure to start Mochiweb: eaddrinuse 1> [error] [<0.97.0>] {error_report,<0.34.0>, {<0.97.0>,crash_report, [[{initial_call,{mochiweb_socket_server,init,['Argument__1']}}, {pid,<0.97.0>}, {registered_name,[]}, {error_info,{exit,eaddrinuse, [{gen_server,init_it,6}, {proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3}]}}, {ancestors,[couch_secondary_services,couch_server_sup, <0.35.0>]}, {messages,[]}, {links,[<0.88.0>]}, {dictionary,[]}, {trap_exit,true}, {status,running}, {heap_size,987}, {stack_size,24}, {reductions,448}], []]}} 1> =CRASH REPORT==== 16-Apr-2010::13:43:08 === crasher: initial call: mochiweb_socket_server:init/1 pid: <0.97.0> registered_name: [] exception exit: eaddrinuse in function gen_server:init_it/6 ancestors: [couch_secondary_services,couch_server_sup,<0.35.0>] messages: [] links: [<0.88.0>] dictionary: [] trap_exit: true status: running heap_size: 987 stack_size: 24 reductions: 448 neighbours: 1> [error] [<0.88.0>] {error_report,<0.34.0>, {<0.88.0>,supervisor_report, [{supervisor,{local,couch_secondary_services}}, {errorContext,start_error}, {reason,eaddrinuse}, {offender,[{pid,undefined}, {name,httpd}, {mfa,{couch_httpd,start_link,[]}}, {restart_type,permanent}, {shutdown,brutal_kill}, {child_type,worker}]}]}} 1> =SUPERVISOR REPORT==== 16-Apr-2010::13:43:08 === Supervisor: {local,couch_secondary_services} Context: start_error Reason: eaddrinuse Offender: [{pid,undefined}, {name,httpd}, {mfa,{couch_httpd,start_link,[]}}, {restart_type,permanent}, {shutdown,brutal_kill}, {child_type,worker}]
