Conditionally support upstart

[gmr]

This cookbook will fail to start CouchDB and exit out on Ubuntu systems (and I assume debian proxy) as the package installs CouchDB with an Upstart init configuration instead of an init.d script.

Debian doesn't have upstart by default. Can you change this to just Ubuntu and I can accept? Thanks.

@gmr are you on it please?

I tried to use this fix with Ubuntu 12.04 and it doesn't work.

The problem ist, dass if you install apt-get install couchdb on Ubuntu you can not stop the service. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1795

include_recipe 'erlang' if node['couch_db']['install_erlang']
include_recipe 'apt::default'

case node['platform_family']
when 'rhel'
  group 'couchdb' do
    system true
  end

  user 'couchdb' do
    comment 'Couchdb Database Server'
    gid 'couchdb'
    shell '/bin/bash'
    home '/var/lib/couchdb'
    system true
  end

  include_recipe 'yum-epel'
end

package 'couchdb' do
  package_name value_for_platform(
    'openbsd' => { 'default' => 'apache-couchdb' },
    'gentoo' => { 'default' => 'dev-db/couchdb' },
    'default' => 'couchdb'
    )
end

if platform_family?('debian')
  execute "kill-couchdb" do
    command "sudo killall -u couchdb"
    action :run
  end
end

template '/etc/couchdb/local.ini' do
  source 'local.ini.erb'
  owner 'couchdb'
  group 'couchdb'
  mode 0664
  variables(
    :config => node['couch_db']['config']
  )
  notifies :restart, 'service[couchdb]'
end

directory '/var/lib/couchdb' do
  owner 'couchdb'
  group 'couchdb'
  recursive true
  path value_for_platform(
    'openbsd' => { 'default' => '/var/couchdb' },
    'freebsd' => { 'default' => '/var/couchdb' },
    'gentoo' => { 'default' => '/var/couchdb' },
    'default' => '/var/lib/couchdb'
  )
end

service 'couchdb' do
  if platform_family?('rhel', 'fedora')
    start_command '/sbin/service couchdb start &> /dev/null'
    stop_command '/sbin/service couchdb stop &> /dev/null'
  end
  supports [:restart, :status]
  action [:enable, :start]
end

works for me

Thanks @michaelwittig. That bug is slated to be fixed in CouchDB 1.6.0 which should be released very shortly. Once it's avialable can you re-test if this upstart approach works?

I'm also still waiting on @gmr to except debian from this PR before merging. ;)

Ok. CouchDB is 1.0.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 :) I tried to Install Ubuntu 1.5.0 from source (couchdb::source) and the recipe works perfectly.

I Just missed

include_recipe "build-essential"

at the beginning of the source recipe

What worked for us (dragons ahead):

chef_gem 'chef-rewind' do
  version '0.0.8'
end

require 'chef/rewind'

include_recipe 'couchdb'

rewind 'service[couchdb]' do
  stop_command '/etc/init.d/couchdb stop; sleep 1; pkill -U couchdb'
  restart_command '/etc/init.d/couchdb stop; sleep 1; pkill -U couchdb; /etc/init.d/couchdb start'
  status_command 'pgrep -u couchdb'
  supports [:restart, :status]
  action [:enable, :start]
end

service 'couchdb' do
  action [:enable, :start]
end

Hey @michaelwittig and @gmr CouchDB 1.6.1 is out - can you please review and work through the issues on this PR? I'm afraid I don't have time to fix it from first principles, but if you can clean up this PR and squash I'm happy to merge.

[wohali]

No action for 6 months, closing. Please feel free to reopen if you are still having issues with 1.6.1.

[gmr]

I'm not using Chef or CouchDB anymore, but the change was fairly trivial.
