Michael,

 Can you check on what you have in /erl5.7.2/usr/couch.ini for the lines  a=
t the end=20
( probably in c:\program files)

---------------------
[Couch Query Servers]

javascript=3Dcouch_js "c:/program files/erl5.7.2/lib/couchdb-0.8.1/share/se=
rver/main.js"

------------------------
I found that this seems to have trouble with a full path in some cases. You=
 can try a relative path like

javascript=3Dcouch_js ../lib/couchdb-0.8.1/share/server/main.js


Secondly, are using couch_start.bat to start it or running it from the erla=
ng command line?

If you are using couch_start.bat, I failed to make a fix to that using note=
pad, find=20
couch_server:start(\"../couch.ini\")

and change it to:

couch_server:start()

Sorry about that, I will make both fixes in the package on the site asap

Well, don't know what happened but now it is working.

I tried to install a new version from the Virginia site, couchdb-091.exe, a=
nd it wouldn't start up at all.

Then tried to run the couch_js.exe. It didn't fail but didn't produce any o=
utput.=20

Went back to my original install and it is now working and I can run a view=
.

Maybe manually executing the couch_js.exe resolved some issue.

An "official" windows version would be nice.

Thanks for the support.

I ran into this Tuesday, thought it was a badly built spider monkey library=
, but it ended up being a config issue for me.

I would check that you can load the spider monkey library, just run couch_j=
s.exe, At some point in playing with it I got a bad copy that simply wouldn=
't load.

Then make sure the following lines are *not* included/ uncommented in your =
default.ini file, probably in c:\programfiles\erl5.7.2\bin

[query_servers]
javascript =3D %bindir%/%couchjs_command_name% %localdatadir%/server/main.j=
s

The Windows process model is a bit different from posix, so that's
probably why spawning the JavaScript process is failing. There is a
windows installer in the works. Maybe someone who knows more about it
can comment.
