problem with couchdb

[AardF...@web.de]

To create wiktionaries, I am scraping and using couchdb. Ran an update of the system recentlz ( a month ago or so) and I guess since then I do not have access to couchdb anymore.

The older version was 3.1 or 3.2 now it seems to be 3.3.3 according to 

~$ ps -ef | grep couchdb

are throwing the error

This site can’t be reached xxx refused to connect.

Just for completeness

admin with password is installed and was working

mwscrape access is returning

same effect with

curl http://admin:pass...@127.0.0.1:5984

connection refused

I ran out of ideas. Any hints?
