title: Couchbase 2.2 - Cannot connect to console after installation
body: <p>I have installed Couchbase 2.2.0 for Windows 7 64 bits. I installed it using the default options. The service gets installed and I can stop/start or restart it without errors. However, I cannot connect to the management console on port 8091. </p>
  
  <p>I've found some posts on how to deal with this but they all relate to older versions of couchbase and reference files/options I can't find in version 2.2 (for example this post : <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15137996/unable-to-connect-to-http-localhost8091-index-html">Unable to connect to http://localhost:8091/index.html</a>).</p>
  
  <p>When I try netstat -an -p tcp I can't see any service listening on port 8091 so I suspect something goes wrong during startup.</p>
  
  <p>Looking in the couchbase log in /var/lib/couchbase/logs I can see some errors but they don't make sense to me. </p>

  <p>The windows firewall is running but, since I installed the same version of couchbase on another machine with the same Windows version without troubles I can't imagine that the firewall is causing this trouble. </p>
  
  <p>I'm out of options though, I have no idea why I can't get this to work.</p>
  
  <p> In the meantime, I have uninstalled 2.2 and tried falling back to 2.1 (with the same result) and moving forward to 2.5 (with the same result). In all cases I turned of antivirus software and stopped the Windows firewall to eliminate this cause. </p>
