-This is the README for the %package_name% binary distribution for
-Windows, version %version%.
-
-* Although CouchDB defaults to installing into your "Program Files" directory,
- the permissions on the 'var' and 'etc' sub-directories have been adjusted
- to allow modification by any authorized user so the couchdb databases, logs
- and .ini files can be written. You may like to further restrict these
- permissions to only the user who will be running couchdb.
-
-* The installer offers to install CouchDB as a Windows Service. If you select
- this option, the service will run as the "LocalSystem" user and be
- configured to start automatically. You can configure the service properties
- via the Windows 'Services' applet.
-
-* To start CouchDB in a "console" environment, execute couchdb.bat in the
- 'bin' directory. A shortcut to this batch file should have been installed.
- Don't try and start couchdb this way if the service is running - it will
- fail.
-
-* The Futon application which comes with CouchDB does not work with
- Internet Explorer - Mozilla Firefox is generally recommended.
-
-* The test suite is known to fail on Windows due to what appear to be
- permissions errors; this is due to couch being unable to delete a
- file while it is in use on Windows.
- See also https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-326
-
-* Additional help with the Windows support is needed - please contact the
- couchdb-dev list if you can help.
