I downloaded the Couchbase server community edition on my Mac (OS X 10.11). I double-clicked the application. A menubar item appears. Activity Monitor verifies that the Couchbase server is running. An attempt to reach http://localhost:8091 fails. (I have seen some posts about this on the forum but they were from a long time ago.) What should I do?
[I would think there would be an **installation** tag, but there isn’t.]
Can you see it listening on a port? (netstat -a -b -p tcp on the command line). If you see Couchbase listed using port 8091, you might look to see if it’s blocked by a firewall. If you see it listed using a different port, try connecting to that instead.
Thanks. I am running the Couchbase server locally on my Mac. (OS X 10…11 — there shouldn’t be a Firewall issue, should there? I know that sometimes applications pop up a dialog that asks if they access something, so if Couchbase Server needed a port I would think it might ask. I trying to connect with
http://local:8091
Activity Monitor shows that the server is running. Here’s the output of
netstat -a -b -p tcp

That looks like output from Activity Monitor. Run netstat -anp tcp in a terminal window. You should see a line that looks like tcp4 0 0 *.8091 *.* LISTEN
(Editing incorrect info.) See ingenthr post about what you’ll see in the menu bar.
If you don’t see anything listening on port 8091 using netstat, you could find out what ports it’s using by running netstat twice, once with the server running and once with it stopped, and looking at the difference.
Actually, there is something in the menu bar. You should see something like this:
If that’s not coming up, then I believe there should be more information in Console.app on Mac OS.

That’s what my menu looks like.
Interesting. I don’t think we’ve seen this before. I have a way to get a bit more data to help.
Open a terminal and run /Applications/Couchbase\ Server.app/Contents/Resources/start-server.sh. It’s going to send a lot of output to the terminal. If you attach that here or post a bug on issues.couchbase.com, hopefully we can spot something.
Also, Couchbase logs an entry showing which port it’s listing on. From your earlier post it looks like you’re logging to /Users/mlm/Library/Logs/Couchbase.log
/Applications/Couchbase Server.app/Contents/Resources/start-server.sh: line 14: epmd: command not found
Another bit of information: the menubar item does show up on the menubar, but when I check open on startup, the check doesn’t take.

epmd not found is a problem. It should be finding it somewhere under Applications/Couchbase Server.app/Contents/Resources/couchbase-core. Can you search in your installation and see if it’s there? After starting the server, you should see epmd in a ps listing (e.g. ps aux | grep epmd).
Not sure if that’s responsible for the log output you’re seeing, but epmd should be getting spun off as an independent daemon.
From your netstat output, it does look like some of the processes are starting. Take a look at the Couchbase.log file and check for references to port 8091. A normal startup has a line something like Couchbase Server has started on web port 8091, among other references.
I tried all the ways mentioned. But I am still not able to access localhost:8091
