Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Couchdb Wiki" for change notification.
The "Quirks_on_Windows" page has been changed by DaveCottlehuber: https://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Quirks_on_Windows?action=diff&rev1=21&rev2=22 Comment: firewall exceptions * run vcredist first to ensure the following binaries don't simply crash * set up Erlang using {{{"%COUCHDB%\Install.exe -s"}}} * if you need to set up a service, use [[http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlsrv.html|erlsrv.exe]] to do so. + * if you wish to enable the firewall port, add {{{netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Apache CouchDB" dir=in action=allow service=any enable=yes profile=any localport=5984 protocol=tcp}}} === Upgrading === Most recent changes since 0.8 have required a full uninstall and re-install to avoid mixing Erlang libraries from different versions. Depending on changes in Erlang and CouchDB it may be that the on-disk format or replication has also changed. You will need to decide how to handle this on a case-by-case basis. The official CouchDB installer in versions after 1.0.2 will not require a reboot during/after uninstall & reinstall. This is due to killing off the stray epmd.exe process prior to upgrade/installation.
