Syncing PouchDB and Couchbase Sync Gateway - CORS Error

Question

I need help syncing PouchDB with Couchbase Sync Gateway.

I keep getting the following error that points to a CORS problem, but I've configured Couchbase Sync Gateway (CSG) for CORS according to their documentation.

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost:4985/test-database/.
No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin'header is present on the requested
resource. Origin 'http://localhost:3000' is therefore not 
allowed access.

I've tried the following config file per the CSG docs:

http://developer.couchbase.com/documentation/mobile/1.2/develop/guides/sync-gateway/configuring-sync-gateway/config-properties/index.html

{
  "log": ["HTTP+"],
  "CORS": {
    "origin":["http://localhost:3000"],
    "loginOrigin":["http://localhost:3000"],
    "headers":["Content-Type"],
    "maxAge": 1728000
  },
  "databases": {
    "test-database": {
      "server": "walrus:",
      "users": { "GUEST": {"disabled": false, "admin_channels": ["*"] } }
    }
  }
}

I've tried other config files as well from the Couchbase blog, but none of them work! Any help with this will be greatly appreciated!

It looks like you're trying to hit the Sync Gateway admin port, which doesn't support CORS, as far as I know. Have you tried targeting the public port (4984)?
