Hi,
I have attempted (for the last 2hrs!) to load up CouchDB without success.
I have scrolled through various websites and attempted various ‘solutions’ but I cannot get past the initial server connection…’Cannot connect to the server’ – 127.0.0.1:5984/…
The error page is shown, followed by many further attempts by the browser to connect, with the same result. I have to reboot the Mac to get rid of the looping renewed attempts.
One site said to add MacPorts & Xcode but not sure how these contribute to the install.
Any help would be extremely grateful as you probably can tell this is all new to me. :-)
Did you try to connect to the server from the terminal? https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/intro/curl.html
Hi Daniel,
Attempted connection to server using Terminal but same error message. I took off Firewall & Bitdefender but still couldn’t connect.
Hi John, a consistent error is kind of good. You’re running CouchDB on your local machine, right? Otherwise I guess the IP address would be different.
Hi Daniel,
Yes, however if possible I would like to have it run on my NAS box. I noticed you mentioned in a different post that you had achieved that? My goal is to have my Tapforms DB in a location that is accessible by 2 different MACs. Access would only be from these 2 MACs, no access outside the LAN is required. Could that be possible and have the DB on the NAS?
I attempted the ‘nearby’ option but this didn’t appear very resilient and access to the DB occasionally resulted in valid data being overwritten due to sync problems.
I had CouchDB running on my MacStudio under Monterey last night, now today it’s broken. Does anyone recommend a particular version of CouchDB for the above?
Thanks.
In the menubar, CouchDB has a couple of items:
“Launch Admin Console at Start” — which is always checked, can’t be unchecked, so it always does.
“Automatically Start at Login” — not checked, can’t be checked, so doesn’t.
How would you get all this to recover from a restart? No wonder I can’t get it to work after the one time it did last night. It responds to the basic “curl” query above. Lots of “can’t connect” – “Error sending to server.: Invalid attachment data for icon, 400” etc.
Thanks…
Hi John, I’ve CouchDB running on my QNAP NAS. I installed the package two different ways. 1) as an app on the box and 2) in a container. I like the container approach as it isolates the installation a bit more and makes it bit less NAS dependent. You never now what happens in the future….
What NAS do you have?

Hi Daniel,
I have a Synology DS414 – V7.1.1.
Just attempted to use MacPorts package manager to install CouchDB from their website to see if that corrected the Server Connection issue. Exact same problem. I concede, not meant to be.
