Timed out waiting for CouchDB

[zztop101]

Hi,

Installed CouchDB on windows

• used default installation location
• did not install as a windows service
• set system variable COUCH_URL http://localhost:5984
• start up couchDB by double click couchdb.bat
• verify couchDB is ok : curl http://localhost:5984 and get json response.

navigate to hoodie project

• hoodie start and see:
  Version: 0.6.3 (node v4.2.1, npm 2.14.15, platform: win32)
  (node) sys is deprecated. Use util instead.
  Initializing...
  Using remote CouchDB: http://localhost:5984

Thanks for reporting the issue @trob67. We are all a bit in pre-holidays crunch mode, but I hope that someone finds the time to look into it soon. I’ll check in again after christmas

Hey @trob67, sorry no solution yet, but could you try to follow these instructions and see if it works for you? https://github.com/hoodiehq/my-first-hoodie/tree/something-tracker#local-setup-to-test-new-hoodie

Note that the instructions above are for a pre pre pre release and still heavily work in progress, but it’s good enough to check if it works with your local CouchDB
