Can't connect to couchbase via php

Question

I have this strange issue that I'm banging my heads off. It works on dev machine but when I moved it to prod machine, I got this error:

FastCGI-stderr: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'CouchbaseLibcouchbaseException' with message 'Failed to create libcouchbase instance: Administrator account must not be used to access the data in the bucket' in /var/www/myapps/Bootstrap.php:149

This is line 149:

$couchbase = new Couchbase($db['host'],$db['username'],$db['password'], $db['dbname']);

Did I miss something? I turn off all my firewall and selinux to make sure it's not their issue. Still the same..

I'm using:

CentOS 6.4 64Bit
Couchbase 2.01
whatever the php-ext-couchbase define in this repo:
http://packages.couchbase.com/rpm/couchbase-centos62-x86_64.repo

I can login with no issue via browser with the same username and password.

The question is, is this really an account issue? If it is then how or where do I create another user? Can't seem to find it anywhere in the documentation.

If not, any suggestion on how I should debug this? Please help?

Answer 1

Is your bucket password protected? If not, just pass a blank user id and password to the connect. To find out if it has a password go to the bucket configuration area (Data Buckets, Click the down arrow, click the "edit" button). The password is set under "access control" on the edit screen.
