Newbie: Can't Load Futon
I have installed CouchDB on Windows XP. In both Firefox and IE, I have
connected to the database with:
http://localhost:5984/.
I see displayed in the browser:
{"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"0.0.0"}
This was nice to see. Per the O'Reilly Getting Started book, I tried to
load Futon with the command:
http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/
This produces the response:
Not found.
I'm not coming up with a way around this.

Hello!
It could be an IPv6-thingy that is messing with you.
Ping localhost to see if it really resolves to 127.0.0.1 and not to IPv6:s
loopback address which is [::1].
In that case a small change in the hosts-file will sort it out:
%WIN_DIR%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

I assume you tried http://localhost:5984/_utils/
I'm not familiar with Windows, but this looks hopeful, as you did get
the welcome message from /
