Question

I have membase server setup, and am successfully using a memcache bucket, but I can’t get a membase bucket to work.

My config is simple

<membase>
<servers bucket="membase" retryCount="3">
  <add uri="http://192.168.1.250:8091/pools/default" />
</servers>

Same setup is working fine with memcache running off the membase server.

I’m not sure about the pools/default bit, as there’s no mention of that in the membase gui, but all the docs say to use it.

The full diagnostics log is

Ok, changing ip address’ is an issue with couchbase.
