couchdb

I'm trying to install CouchDB on my mac, running snow leopard 10.6. I installed Xcode, MacPorts, and then followed the instructions here: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_OSX

It all worked fine until I tried to visit the web interface: http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/index.html

Google chrome said "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 127.0.0.1:5984"

I tried connecting using telnet in bash and it said connection refused. Can somebody shed some light with some suggestions or perhaps and idiot-proof walkthrough?
