Hi,

I have been trying to get CouchBase Server 1.8 to run on a CentOS 6.2 box. After installing the rpm I get this:

#rpm -ivh couchbase-server-enterprise_x86_1.8.0.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:couchbase-server ########################################### [100%]
Starting couchbase-server/opt/couchbase/bin/couchbase-server: line 29: 28403 Illegal instruction (core dumped) erl -noshell -setcookie nocookie -sname init -run init stop 2>&1 > /dev/null
[FAILED]

I have googled but I can't seem to find anybody else with this issue. There is one other forum post by a guy who has a similar issue but on Ubuntu and he seems to have solved it by compiling from source. I'd really like to save myself the bother of a source compile, please help.

Regards,
Adi

looks like the Erlang VM is crashing somehow. Can you retrieve the stacktrace from the core file generated by erl?

If incase the core file is not generated you may want to look around on the web to tweak centos into writing a core when a process hits an exception like this.
here's a useful link http://www.moythreads.com/wordpress/2011/10/06/linux-core-dumps/

Also, do believe one (maybe related) Erlang VM segfault crash was addressed in 1.8.1. You may want to try with that version instead.
