Solution

  • Issue was with the McAfee utilizing the default ports of the couchbase server.

    Solution

    • Customized couchbase installation to use user defined ports.
    • Updated etc\couchbase\static_config with the custom ports instead of 8091 -> 9000
    • Along with above modified Couch API port via couchdb\default.d\capi.ini 8092 -> 9001
    • Deleted var\lib\couchbase\config\config.dat
    • Started Couchbase Service.

    Solved

    • http://localhost:9000/ is accessible now.
    • couchbase logs also confirmed the same.
