Subject: How to start couchdb on Mac OS without restarting the machine?

Hi,

I'm following the MacPort section on
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_OSX

It says

"$ sudo launchctl load -w
/opt/local/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.couchdb.plist

and it should be up and accessible via Futon at
http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/index.html. It should also be restarted
automatically after reboot (because of the -w flag)."

I don't know what is Futon here. But I try to access by a browser. It
doesn't appear to work. Is the service not started? I tried the
following command, but I got the following message. Does anybody know
what I am wrong here? Thanks!
