A username and password are being requested by http://localhost:48981. The site says: "administrator"

Hi, Kirk.

Thanks for asking. Most likely 48981 is the port your desktop CouchDB is (or was) running on. When you navigate directly to it in the browser, it will ask you for basic auth credentials, and if you have your browser set to re-open windows from previous sessions on launch, it can try to open the direct port again. I see this myself, and I usually immediately browse to: file:///home/myusername/.local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html, which will, in turn, log me into my desktop CouchDB with the appropriate credentials already established.

Please let me know if this solves the question.

Thanks,

Zac

Hello Zac

Thanks for the quick response

I opened file:///home/myusername/.local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html
with Firefox and still received the mesage
A username and password are being requested by http://localhost:48981. The
site says: "administrator"I took the
href="http://YJhgImAiCb:eCMEVeohKl@localhost:59446/_utils" from
couchdb.html and went to *http://YJhgImAiCb:eCMEVeohKl@localhost:48981
/_utils* with Firefox

Now it seems that*
file:///home/myusername/.local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html* will log
into my desktop CouchDB
with the appropriate credentials already established.

I will check thing out better, when I have time

thanks again

Kirk

Hi, Kirk! If you're being asked about passwords when you open the desktopcouch bookmark file (couchdb.html) or when starting bindwood, desktopcouch may have forgotten its passwords. If you look at http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktopcouch/Documentation/Troubleshooting it has some instructions on how to restart desktopcouch; if you quit Firefox, restart desktopcouch as described on the Troubleshooting page, then restart Firefox, the problem should go away.
