Couchbase Test Running Failed

Question

I installed Couchbase and trying to test its caching. The URL localhost:8091/index.html shows all most everything (stats,server info etc). When I tel net telnet localhost 8091 terminal shows
Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'.

Then I tried to get the status with command stats . Also, I tried to set a key-value . Both commands give the same error:
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Server: MochiWeb/1.0 (Any of you quaids got a smint?) Date: Fri, 01 Aug 2014 05:28:31 GMT Content-Length: 0

1. Does this sound my installation has any issue or couchbase not running well?
2. Does couchbase heavily depend on hardware specifications ? (it asks for more core servers, more MEMORY). How ever,

Answer 1

You are trying to telnet into the HTTP admin (UI) port 8091. To issue test commands in ASCII (e.g. stats) use port 11211 (to connect to the legacy ASCII memcached proxy, moxi).
