-Error Messages
-==============
-
-The errors reported when CouchDB is unable to read a required file have
-been updated so that explicit information about the files and problem
-can now be identified from the error message. The errors report file
-permission access either when reading or writing to configuration and
-database files.
-
-The error is raised both through the log file and the error message
-returned through the API call as a JSON error message. For example, when
-setting configuration values:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    shell> curl -X PUT http://couchdb:5984/_config/couchdb/delayed_commits \
-                -H 'X-Couch-Persist: true' -d '"false"'
-    {"error":"file_permission_error","reason":"/etc/couchdb/local.ini"}
-
-Errors will always be reported using the ``file_permission_error`` error
-type.
-
-During startup permissions errors on key files are also reported in the
-log with a descriptive error message and file location so that
-permissions can be fixed before restart.
