Well, don't know what happened but now it is working. I tried to install a new version from the Virginia site, couchdb-091.exe, and it wouldn't start up at all.
Then tried to run the couch_js.exe. It didn't fail but didn't produce any output. Went back to my original install and it is now working and I can run a view. Maybe manually executing the couch_js.exe resolved some issue. An "official" windows version would be nice. Thanks for the support.

I would check that you can load the spider monkey library, just run couch_js.exe, At some point in playing with it I got a bad copy that simply wouldn't load. Then make sure the following lines are *not* included/ uncommented in your default.ini file, probably in c:\programfiles\erl5.7.2\bin [query_servers] javascript = %bindir%/%couchjs_command_name% %localdatadir%/server/main.js -Lee -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Anderson Sent: Wednesday, August 05, 2009 7:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Can't run views on new install On Wed, Aug 5, 2009 at 12:36 PM, Michael McCaffrey<[email protected]> wrote: > New to couchDB. > > > > Got a small java app reading and writing documents to the db using > couchdb4j. > > > > However, I can't get views to work.
