This is nothing to do with couchdb, it's an ssh question. ssh cannot open port 5985 because there's already something running on your local machine listening on that port. Use a different port or close whatever process has port 5985 open.

An application/Process is already running on your machine with port 5985. Use a different port or close whatever application/process has port 5985 & start the ssh tunnel again.

Try to use different port

ssh -fNg -L 5986:127.0.0.1:5984 wawansetiawan@192.168.1.249

Or You can kill application/process has port 5985.

netstat -nap | grep 5985
kill -9 <pid-of-5985-process>

Start the ssh tunnel again. ssh -fNg -L 5985:127.0.0.1:5984 wawansetiawan@192.168.1.249
