Hello I just installed couchDB on my MacBook Pro

I installed it using MacPort 

sudo port install couchdb
sudo port upgrade couchdb
sudo launchctl load -w /opt/local/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.couchdb.plist
org.apache.couchdb: Already loaded

But I'm unable to access the web GUI http://localhost:5984/_utils/index.html

what should I do to be able to access the web GUI?

Thank You

I got the same problem after updating to MacPorts 1.9.2.

There is an issue with erlang from Mac ports and couchdb. To fix it:

1.Uninstall erlang (optional - you can keep it as inactive) 

sudo port uninstall erlang

2.Install erlang with the +ssl variant

sudo port install erlang +ssl

That should do the trick without the need to touch your couchdb installation:) Time to relax.

  • Added info about it to http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_OSX . What is strange to me is that the `./configure && make` from couchdb dont inform about the missing component however running tests by `make check` results in fail. – lukmdo May 04 '11 at 00:44

Why don't you just use the OSX Desktopcouch or just sign up for a free instance at couchone?
