how did you install CouchDB?

[ramstein74]

from here
http://www.us.apache.org/dist/couchdb/binary/win/1.6.1/setup-couchdb-1.6.1_R16B02.exe

The issue still persists, as I am encountering it. See also hoodiehq/faq#119 (comment)

[Junkern]

Ok, now it works. I think the problem was, that I did not install CouchDB in the default directory (C:...). Maybe hoodie has problems with CouchDB being in a different directory?

[janl]

Yes, that’s the problem very likely!

This is the culprit: https://github.com/hoodiehq/node-multicouch/blob/master/lib/multicouch.js#L17

If anyone fancies making this more dynamic, please let us know!

We are tracking existing efforts here: hoodiehq-archive/node-multicouch#26

Closing this in favour of that one.

Install x86 version. It works well
