Can't get Sync Manager to connect to an existing bucket

Mobile Sync Gateway
1

Hi, I’m new to Couchbase. I’m using the Couchbase Community Edition, Couchbase Lite iOS for Swift, and I’m trying to setup Sync Gateway to work with an existing bucket. Sync Gateway seems to work in memory mode (walrus), but seems not in default mode.

The Couchbase Admin UI is running at: http://127.0.0.1:8091

Both the node name and bucket name is ‘notes’.

Currently, I’m using this config for the Sync gateway, not sure if it’s right; hence my question:

  "logging": {
    "console": {
      "log_keys": ["*"]
    }
  },
  "databases": {
    "notes": {
      "bucket": "notes",
      "server": "http://localhost:8091",
      "users": { "GUEST": { "disabled": false, "admin_channels": ["*"] } },
      "sync": 
  	`
      function(doc, oldDoc) {
        if (doc.type == "reject_me") {
	      throw({forbidden : "Rejected document"})
        } else if (doc.type == "bar") {
	  // add "bar" docs to the "important" channel
            channel("important");
	} else if (doc.type == "secret") {
          if (!doc.owner) {
            throw({forbidden : "Secret documents must have an owner field"})
          }
	} else {
	    // all other documents just go into all channels listed in the doc["channels"] field
	    channel(doc.channels)

      // Expire documents based on document "expiry" property
      expiry(doc.expiry)    
	}
      }
    `,
    "allow_conflicts": false,
    "revs_limit": 20
    }
  }
}

I searched a lot on this, tried using users (with passwords) instead of GUEST; didn’t help.

Thanks.

The users property in the sync gateway config are users for the sync gateway, in other words they’re used for Couchbase lite clients to connect to the sync gateway NOT for the sync gateway to connect to your Couchbase server. To configure the user the sync gateway will use to connect to the Couchbase server set the “username” and “password” property in the sync gateway config (config example in the link below). This is the Couchbase server user you created for the Sync Gateway on step 5 of Configure Couchbase Server: Sync Gateway - Configure Couchbase Server.
