  1. Create user couchdb (either as standard user account or if you happen to have the OSX server tools installed you can use that to make proper daemon account)
  2. open shell, sudo su -
  3. mkdir -p /opt/local/var/log/couchdb && chown -R couchdb /opt/local/var/log/couchdb
  4. mkdir -p /opt/local/var/lib/couchdb && chown -R couchdb /opt/local/var/lib/couchdb
  5. cp /opt/local/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.couchdb.couchdb.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/ && launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.couchdb.couchdb.plist
  6. launchctl start org.couchdb.couchdb
  7. exit sudo and shell, check the Console application

  If you have (like me) been running the couchdb in screen or otherwise manually starting it to background via sudo (ie as root) do the following:

  1. shutdown the running instance
  2. create the user
  3. chown -R couchdb /opt/local/var/log/couchdb && chown -R couchdb /opt/local/var/lib/couchdb
  4. continue from step 5.
  5. Profit !!!
