wohali commented on issue #604: {"error":"unauthorized","reason":"Name or password is incorrect."} even if access is granted to user URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/604#issuecomment-310296365 Your step 1 talking to port 5986 to create a user is wrong - you got bad advice. You need to first create the `_users` database on port 5984 as outlined in our setup documentation: http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/install/setup.html#single-node-setup Once you have created the `_users` database through port 5984, repeat your step 1 to create your user on port 5984. Then everything else should work normally. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
