creating a new role

[Seung Chan Lim]

I'm trying to create a new role by making a request to the ADMIN interface, but failing.

I tried a POST request to localhost:4985/db/_role/ with body {"name": "newrole"} which got me a 405 method not allowed.

I tried a PUT request to localhost:4985/db/_role/ with body {"name": "newrole"} which got me a 405 method not allowed.

I tried a PUT request to localhost:4985/db/_role/newrole with body {"name": "newrole"} which got me a 405 method not allowed.

I tried a POST request to localhost:4985/db/_role/newrole with body {"name": "newrole"} which got me a 405 method not allowed.

What is the proper way to create a new role?

It works for me…

$ http POST :4985/db/_role/ name=newrole
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Content-Length: 0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2015 00:18:45 GMT
Server: Couchbase Sync Gateway/unofficial

PUT to /db/_role/newrole worked too.
What version of SG is this? Is there any middleware between you and the gateway?

Did you name your database "db" in the server config file?
