I am in the process of evaluating CouchDB for a specific requirement and I am new to CouchDB.

I have installed Couch DB using the package installation and it has started at the time of installation and listening to port 5984.

Now i want to stop and restart. I have tried various options but none of them worked.

Option 1

sudo service couchdb stop (this does not stop at all)

sudo netstat -lpn shows that a process listening to 5984

Option 2

sudo -i -u couchdb /etc/init.d/couchdb start

This is prompting for the password (ofcourse) which i do not know.

I understand that a new user called couchdb is created at the time of installation. What is the default password of this user?

couchdb
