Hi , I am trying to install the couchbase from src. but when i try to start the server as sudo user , i am getting following error.
"Cant run as root with out -u switch ".

conf of sudo user is username ALL(ALL) ALL.

This is most likely a message from memcached and it is there because it is a bad idea for security reasons to run memcached or any server as root. When rpm install our packages we have everything installed under the user couchbase group couchbase. I recommend trying something like this.
