Hi, I just installed Couchbase 2.0 on my Win 7 laptop. Installation went fine and at the end it popped open a browser window but there was nothing on localhost:8091.

I even created an explicit firewall rule to allow port 8091. I started/stopped/restarted the service, still no luck.

I had to search on Google to look for the command lines (2.0 docs are missing this?) to explicitly start the service (http://www.couchbase.com/docs/couchbase-manual-1.8/couchbase-admin-basic...). This is what I see:

C:\Programs1\Couchbase\Server\bin>service_start.bat
 
C:\Programs1\Couchbase\Server\bin>set NS_BIN=C:\Programs1\Couchbase\Server\bin\
 
C:\Programs1\Couchbase\Server\bin>set NS_ROOT=C:\Programs1\Couchbase\Server\bin\..
 
C:\Programs1\Couchbase\Server\bin>set NS_ERTS=C:\Programs1\Couchbase\Server\bin\..\erts-5.8.5\bin
 
C:\Programs1\Couchbase\Server\bin>"C:\Programs1\Couchbase\Server\bin\..\erts-5.8.5\bin\erlsrv.exe" start CouchbaseServer
C:\Programs1\Couchbase\Server\bin\..\erts-5.8.5\bin\erlsrv.exe: Failed to start service CouchbaseServer.
Error: Access is denied.

There is only 1 user on my laptop and I'm the admin/current user. So, what's wrong here?

There seems to be a related issue on CentOS - http://www.couchbase.com/issues/browse/MB-4121

Regards.

I also did a netstat when the CouchBaseService claimed to be running. There was nothing running on 8091.

Guess it's already been answered:

Not very obvious though. Changed the ip to 127.0.0.1
