Getting started with CouchDB.
Hi,
I do a good deal of database programming - very little web programming.
Am interested in CouchDB's database capabilities (as opposed to its
web interface which is what's perhaps hanging me up at the moment).
After I'd figured out a thing or two, successfully did the windows
install from here:
http://www.brunomlopes.com/software/couch-db-binaries
(thanx to whoever created it - it works well).
So I can go to futon and create databases, documents, etc.
Then tried this 15-minute tutorial:
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/CouchIn15Minutes
It seems to have worked up till #6. #6 is where you query from
_design/render over to the ID of the document you created previously trying
to invoke the 'greetings' property. In my case that would be:
http://localhost:5984/example/_design/render/_show/salute/25cedb097d37e389ca5763fe76a79007
This fails with, as best I've been able to format it, the trace that
follows:
{"error":"EXIT":"reason":"{function_clause,
[{couch_httpd,handle_db_request,
[{mochiweb_request,#Port<0.2357>,'GET',
\"\/example\/_design\/render\/%2225cedb097d37e389ca5763fe76a79007%22\",
{1,1},
{9,
{\"host\",
{'Host',\"localhost:5984\"},
{\"accept\",
{'Accept',
\"text\/html,application\/xhtml+xml,application\/xml;q=0.9,*\/*;q=0.8\"},
nil,
{\"accept-language\",
{'Accept-Language',\"en-us,en;q=0.5\"},
{\"accept-encoding\",
{'Accept-Encoding',\"gzip,deflate\"},
{\"accept-charset\",
{'Accept-Charset',\"ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7\"},
nil,nil},
nil},
{\"connection\",{'Connection',\"keep-alive\"},nil,nil}}},
{\"user-agent\",
{'User-Agent',
\"Mozilla\/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko\/20090708 Mozilla\/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0;
en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko\/20090407 Minefield\/3.6a1pre
AutoPager\/0.5.2.2 (http:\/\/www.teesoft.info\/)\"},
{\"keep-alive\",{'Keep-Alive',\"115\"},nil,nil},
{\"x-autopager\",
{\"X-Autopager\",\"0.5.2.2
(http:\/\/www.teesoft.info\/)\"},
nil,nil}}}}},
'GET',
{\"example\",<0.71.0>,
[\"_design\",\"render\",\"%2225cedb097d37e389ca5763fe76a79007%22\"]}]},
{couch_httpd,handle_request,2},
{mochiweb_http,headers,4},
{proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3}]}"}
The function would appear to be mal-formed and while I've tried all
kinds of possibilities for rewriting it, I continue to get the above trace.
I don't think the problem is browser dependent but tried two version of
FF as well as IE 7. And no go. (one version, above, has AutoPager - the
other version does not).
Hope someone has some idea of what I might be doing wrong.

Point web browser (or curl) at http://127.0.0.1:5984/
That should give you a small JSON doc with some summary info about the
server.

Re: Getting started with CouchDB.
Posted by patrick flaherty <pa...@well.com>.
thanx Nicholas. I'm at GMT-8; was out for the evening; and may not have
a chance to check it out tonight. But if not, then
tmw.
Before going out I did download the latest kit to build from. And if I
understood the steps in here correctly:
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Windows
all the various parts and pieces are basically downloadable (for Windows
of course), with the exception of one: compiling the Erlang
code. Was aware of Erlang's name before but that was about it.
Compiled the Erlang code and it appeared to work. I got two directories
full of .beam files which are apparently compiled Erlang code.
But then I'd go into werl and try to run the server ( either
couch_server.start(). or couch_server.start("couch.ini"). ) and would
get nothing
more than the following:
1> couch_server:start().
Apache CouchDB 0.0.0 (LogLevel=error)
Apache CouchDB is starting.
** exception error: no function clause matching
filename:join({error,bad_name},"lib")
in function couch_util:start_driver/1
in call from couch_server_sup:start_server/1
2>
Which I believe says that I'm missing a DLL. DepdencyWalker told me
that I needed to put two of the ICU DLLs back to having the version
number (42) in the names but I still crashed. And the last thing I was
doing was studying erl_crash.dump to see if that would tell me
anything useful.
All of which was sort of interesting. But hopefully whatever I find at
the URL you indicate will spare me more of the two yards in a
cloud of dust phenomenon (American football metaphor).

Duh. Here's the url for the windows installer exe that one downloads
from Buno Lope's site:
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/118385/CouchDbBinaries/couchdb-0.8.1-win32.exe
0.8.1
Guess I have to rebuild.

The only thing I can suggest would be to look through the install
directory for the README or something that might specify the version.
The definitive place to check is acinclude.m4 but I haven't the
slightest what may or may be included by a Windows installer.

thanx Paul, that's very helpful.
Unfortunately futon is not quite as helpful: the lower right tells me
version 0.0.0. Where else can I find the version number
of my current CouchDB? (I'm of course looking around elsewhere already).
Don't mind trying to build CouchDB for myself. Have an up-to-date
cygwin kit (and visual studio, etc) and have recently built
both openssl and firefox on my XP SP2 machine so I don't feel too
uncomfortable with building open source projects on windows.

Re: Getting started with CouchDB.
Posted by Paul Davis <pa...@gmail.com>.
Patrick,
My first guess is that those Windows binaries are for CouchDB 0.8.x
and the tutorial you're following is referring to 0.9.x features.
Futon should tell you what version you're running in the bottom right
corner. The _show stuff is definitely 0.9.x only. If they are old
binaries, there's been quite a bit of work recently on getting a 0.9.x
installer going. I know there's a URL for build instructions on
windows around here somewhere but I'm not sure if they finished up a
full installer quite yet.
HTH,
Paul Davis
