BigCouch error: "couldn't connect to host" when joinning a node

Question

I try to setup 2 nodes with BigCouch. I set FQDN on /etc/hostname on 2 machines (example: may2.test.com). I also edited /opt/bigcouch/etc/vm.args:

• -name bigcouch@may2.test.com

• -setcookie monster (as default)

Then I try:

• curl localhost:5984 -> {"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"1.1.1","bigcouch":"0.4.2"}
• curl localhost:5986 -> {"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"1.1.1"}
• curl may2.test.com:5984 -> {"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"1.1.1","bigcouch":"0.4.2"}
• curl may2.test.com:5986 -> curl: (7) couldn't connect to host

Anyone can give me some ideas to fix it & make BigCouch work perfectly? Thank you alot

Answer 1

I aslo fixed this error:

• Remove CouchDB. BigCouch ‘s enough.
• because I install BigCouch on localhost, my query must like:

curl -X PUT http://localhost:5986/nodes/bigcouch@slave3.test.com -d {}

In your configuration file /opt/bigcouch/etc/default.ini

in the section [httpd] set bind_address = 0.0.0.0 and then sudo sv restart bigcouch
