solarthing: CouchDB setup failed

I started to setup a CouchDB database running on my Mac on the same network as my Pi. Setup the couchdb.json config file as on the website and got the following errors.

rbrown3rd@bobspi01:/opt/solarthing/program/mate$ solarthing run --couchdb-setup config/couchdb.json

Yeah sounds good. I don’t know what to tell you for the moment. I’ll keep trying to come up with ideas why it won’t connect.

Worst case scenario, you can manually add some documents, but a better idea might be to try to run SolarThing setup on your Mac, but that would require a lot of work on your end.

Gotcha. I’m gonna look into this more tomorrow. I likely won’t have any recommendations before then. This does give me an idea for a “CouchDB diagnostics” type program, though.

Yeah there’s a way to add it manually, but the setup should have done that. What version of CouchDB do you have installed? If you ran through the setup program I can try to reproduce this bug.

I’ll give you more details later about adding it manually.
