I followed all the steps listed in the wiki (except changing the permissions of files to 660 - threw a permission denied error). CouchDb is installed and its running. But am not able to set up the admin users login password. I set up one as explained in the local.ini file. But when I restart CouchDB, am not able to login to futon using the admin password. Also, in the local.ini file the password is still plain text and not hashed as would be expected!!
Sounds like a file permissions problem, with couchdb unable to modify the local.ini file. Make sure the account the server is running as has write access to the file. Or else, maybe it’s not reading that file? Double-check the paths. —Jens
