ah, and I found my problem: /etc/hosts had 127.0.1.1 localhost. It should have been 127.0.0.1 instead.
Of course, there is still a mismatch: if couchdb expects to connect to localhost, it also should open the listener on the associated IP address, not hard-code it to 127.0.0.1. So: (1) python-httplib2 returned an AttributeError instead of a 'connection refused'; the patch above seems to fix it. (2) couchdb seems to open a listener on 127.0.0.1:40221, but provides the URL as "localhost:40221". usually localhost *is* 127.0.0.1,but not always. Not sure what to do now, though. I feel this should be documented somewhere, but I do not know where. -- bughugger crashed with AttributeError in __init__() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/523327 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
