I was using CouchBase Server 1.1.1 for Mac and it’s working really well. It doesn’t require any configuration after download. However, the latest version of CouchBase Server requires 4 steps of admin configuration. Could someone provide a link to a CouchBase Server for Mac download that doesn’t require any configuration? Or make the new version configuration-free? It’s ok if it’s an older version. I want to distribute the binary with my silverlight app. And my customers are not tech savvy.
Any significant downside of using outdated version 1.1.1?
The product you are using is called Couchbase Single Server and is the Couchbase version of CouchDB. That version of the software is no longer supported by Couchbase.
The new piece of software that you have is probably Couchbase Server 2.0 (currently a developer preview) and that software is not CouchDB, it is a combination of CouchDB and Membase technology. If you want it to automatically set itself up you could potentially use the rest api for Couchbase Server to configure the server.
