Couchbase Web UI not loading on Debian 7 on Google Compute Engine

I'm running Couchbase 2.1.1 on Debian 7 w/Backports and am having an issue loading the Web UI. I continue to get "Could Not Connect" errors, despite being able to successfully access the UI (or at least the index.html) via a wget command.

So I know the ports are open and I know the UI is running, but simply can't connect to the interface from a browser.

Any ideas on how to further troubleshoot this?

Can you share your wget command and adress that you're trying to access. Also are you executing wget and browser at the same machine? - markovuksanovic

Is it possible that you're running the wget command on the VM and the web browser from another machine? If so, I'm guessing that you need to open the Compute Engine firewall to allow traffic on the ports used by the web UI. For example (for the default Couchbase web UI port): 

gcutil --project=myproject addfirewall --allowed=tcp:8901 couchbase-webui

You can also add the firewall via the Console. Click Compute Engine, then Networks, then click the default network. In the firewalls section, click "Add new", and fill in the details.
