Unable to store data on CouchDB v2.2.0

[ooii]

Hi,

I followed tutorial by @pmbanugo about phone book creation. It's working fine. Now, I want to store data on a CouchDB.
I'm running a v2.2.0 database running on the same network as hood.ie.
Here is the package.json file:

{
  "name": "hoodie-phonebook",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "a simple phonebook application for managing contacts",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "hoodie",
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "start-hoodie": "hoodie"
  },
  "author": "Peter Mbanugo",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "hoodie": "^24.2.5"
  },
  "hoodie": {
    "address": "0.0.0.0",
    "port": 8080,
    "data": ".hoodie",
    "public": "public",
    "dbUrl": "http://192.168.1.2:5984",
    "dbUrlUsername" : "hoodie",
    "dbUrlPassword" : "hoodiepass",
    "dbAdapter": "pouchdb-adapter-http",
    "inMemory": false,
    "loglevel": "warn",
    "url": "",
    "adminPassword": "",
    "name": "my-hoodie-app"
  }
}

When I run npm start -- --loglevel=verbose I have the following message.

verb app Initialising
/private/tmp/hoodie-phonebook/node_modules/hoodie/bin/start.js:9
    throw error
    ^

Error: Authentication details missing from database URL: http://192.168.1.2:5984

If I include dbUrlUsername and dbUrlPassword in dbUrl, I have this message.

What am I missing here?
Thanks.

Maybe @gr2m or @janl can help out? I don't have any local couchdb installed. I've used Cloudant and it has worked for me.

Can you try http://localhost:5984 instead of http://192.168.1.2:5984?

It's been a very long time since I looked into this. The error

Authentication details missing from database

suggests that maybe the adminPassword needs to be set?

If you open http://192.168.1.2:5984, what credentials do you use to login with? Should be admin and a password. Set that password in your package.json

It is not hosted on the same machine but I tried to run this phonebook app on the same machine running the database and I'm receiving the exact same message.

I added one and also a url but still same message
