CouchDB fail to connect to port 5984

Linode Staff

Hello,

I was trying to setup a CouchDB server, I installed the server and was able to start it with the default configurations, but all the requests are getting failed to connect to the port(5984).

Hello,

One thing I recommend checking is if the port and bind_address in the local.ini file located in /etc/couchdb/local.ini are uncommented.

change:

;port = 5984
;bind_address = 127.0.0.1

to

port = 5984
bind_address = 0.0.0.0

Then restart CouchDB
