Well, I finally got the compact and the views successfully. However, when clicking on Status, it can take 3-5 minutes for the results to return in the webui. Ii also drives the CPU on the chef-server to 50-60%. We only have about 80 or so clients, so I am a bit concerned.
The Chef server is running as a VM with 2 CPU's ad 2 GB of RAM and the Virtual server is not overloaded.
I need to look into tuning this a bit as we have a large shop (3500+ servers). Anyone have any tips?

I am trying to run a compact on the chef database and the instructions
on the Wiki are not working.. It looks like couchdb isn’t running at
the advertised port. However, netstat doesn’t show it either.What am I missing? Doesn’t chef-server utilize that port to
communicate with the database?I run this command..
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST
http://localhost:5984/chef/_compact
I get -> curl: (7) couldn't connect to host
Thanks
