bigcouch from 0.4.2 packages doesn't start

After install, bigcouch shows up like it should in the process table like this:

bigcouch 30603  0.1  0.2  10832   580 ?        S    08:12   0:01 /opt/bigcouch/erts-5.9.1/bin/epmd -daemon

netstat shows both epmd and beam procs listening, but no process listens on standard couch port 5984, and nothing on bigcouch port 5986 neither:

# netstat -tulpen|egrep '(epmd|beam)'
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:36047           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      107        326381      16875/beam

/opt/bigcouch/var/log is empty, and no signs of bigcouch logging in the entire /var/log dir.

on a bigcouch 0.4.0 install from cloudant, things look like this:

# ps aux|grep couch
