CouchDB service does not startup correctly after installation

I have installed CouchDB (v2.2.0) on a Windows 7 Pro laptop. I have installed to the default C:\CouchDB location. Installation does not report any errors.

However when I try navigate to localhost:5984 to verify my installation, I receive a site unreachable error.

I have tried uninstalling, restarting and re-installing to no avail.

I'm hoping someone else has experienced the same and found a solution. I cannot find any guidance on the couchdb site. What follows is an extract of my couch.log file:

You just need to remove MySQL entries from your PATH variable. Uninstalling MSQL is not necessary.

I faced similar error in windows 8.1 for couchdb-2.2.0 , I got mine working after trying few of the steps mentioned in the below answers.

Although It seems like it has something to do with Mysql but I did not uninstall mysql. I think its not able to correctly parse the windows style path variable entries(having spaces).

Windows could not start the Apache CouchDB service on Local Computer

CouchDB fails to start after applying Windows 10 Creators Update

  1. Replace nssm.exe
  2. Start couchdb from cmd (Administrator)
  3. It failed first time, erl.exe crashed,it will prompt for adding to firewall exception , allow.
  4. running couchdb.cmd again got it working.

Herewith an answer to my own question:

The problem seems to be related to a MySQL 5.6 installation.

I suspected that there was a clash with the 2 apps because as soon as I installed couchDB, I'd get occassional errors reported in the MySQL service.

I uninstalled MySQL and reinstalled couch db and it runs with no issues now. I'll try install MySQL again and see if this happens again.

For now, this issue is resolved.
