Hi,
I do a good deal of database programming - very little web programming.
Am interested in CouchDB's database capabilities (as opposed to its
web interface which is what's perhaps hanging me up at the moment).
After I'd figured out a thing or two, successfully did the windows
install from here:
http://www.brunomlopes.com/software/couch-db-binaries
(thanx to whoever created it - it works well).
So I can go to futon and create databases, documents, etc.
Then tried this 15-minute tutorial:
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/CouchIn15Minutes
It seems to have worked up till #6. #6 is where you query from
_design/render over to the ID of the document you created previously trying
to invoke the 'greetings' property. In my case that would be:
http://localhost:5984/example/_design/render/_show/salute/25cedb097d37e389ca5763fe76a79007
This fails with, as best I've been able to format it, the trace that
follows:
{"error":"EXIT":"reason":"{function_clause,
[{couch_httpd,handle_db_request,
[{mochiweb_request,#Port<0.2357>,'GET',
\"\/example\/_design\/render\/%2225cedb097d37e389ca5763fe76a79007%22\",
{1,1},
{9,
{\"host\",
{'Host',\"localhost:5984\"},
{\"accept\",
{'Accept',

nil,
{\"accept-language\",
{'Accept-Language',\"en-us,en;q=0.5\"},
{\"accept-encoding\",
{'Accept-Encoding',\"gzip,deflate\"},

'GET',
{\"example\",<0.71.0>,
[\"_design\",\"render\",\"%2225cedb097d37e389ca5763fe76a79007%22\"]}]},
{couch_httpd,handle_request,2},
{mochiweb_http,headers,4},
{proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3}]}"}
The function would appear to be mal-formed and while I've tried all
kinds of possibilities for rewriting it, I continue to get the above trace.
I don't think the problem is browser dependent but tried two version of
FF as well as IE 7. And no go. (one version, above, has AutoPager - the
other version does not).
Hope someone has some idea of what I might be doing wrong.
