I am trying to install CouchDB on a Windows 2008 R2 standard version server and it starts the couchdb service running but I am unable to access the couchdb url. And below is the error:

Erlang R15B (erts—5.9) [source] [smp:16:16] [async—threads:0]

Eshell V5.9 (abort with ^G)
1} ("init terminating in do_boot",{{badmatch,(error,{{app_would_not_start,os_mon
}, couch_app.start,[normal,["../etc/couchdb/default.ini","../etc/couchdb/local.i
ni"]]}}}},[{couch,start,0,[{file,"d:/relax/couchdb/src/couchdb/couch.erl"},{line
,18}]},{init,start_it,1,[{file,"init.erl"},{1ine,1041}]},{init,start_em,1,[{fi1e
,"init.erl"},{line.1022}]}]}}

Crash dump was written to: er]_crash.dump
init terminating in do_boot {}

Abnormal termination

When tried on Windows 7 the same installer works fine. Please help on how to fix the issue as it has to run on the Windows 2008 R2 Standard server machine.

First thing to check is if CouchDB starts from a command prompt, without running the service. The installer leaves an icon on the start menu for this, or you can try c:\couchdb\bin\couchdb.bat as well. I recommend installing to a filename without spaces just to ensure Windows is happy.

BTW you don't say what version/release of CouchDB this is, nor where you got it; R15B is not included in the recent official builds. I'd recommend the latest official release from http://couchdb.apache.org/#downloads which uses R16B02 and seeing how you get on.
