MongoDB gets started waiting for connections on port 27017.

Log in to the Couchbase Console. Click on Data Buckets in the Couchbase Admin Console, which is accessed with URL localhost:8091. The default bucket should be listed in Couchbase Buckets. Click on the Documents button for the default bucket. Initially the default bucket should not have any documents in it as shown in Figure 7-1.
