I am trying to complete the exercise 3a in the DW001 Getting Started with IBM Bluemix course. The first exercise is to create a default node.js app in blue mix and deploy. I am tring to create an app with the name 'akarnr-dw001-ex1' but I keep getting the following error: BXNUI0005E: The 'akarnr-dw001-ex1' application could not be added. See the Troubleshooting topics in the IBM Bluemix Documentation to check service status, review troubleshooting information, or for information about getting help.

I have tried a number of different combinations for the unique name of the app but they keep failing.

Please help.

Thanks Amit

Can you explain a bit more? - Dieter Meemken
I have doing the following steps: 1. Select the Node.js Cloudant DB Web Starter from the Boilerplates section. 2.Enter a name for the application as akarnr-dw001-ex1. As per the instructions it says "The host name information is automatically entered. The host name must be unique on Bluemix, so enter a name with your company name or initials to make the name unique.' 6. ClickCREATE. I then get the error mentioned in the initial question. - Amit
Have you run out of space ? You may need to delete some previous apps if you don't have enough space to create the new one. - ValerieLampkin

We are currently experiencing some issues in Cloudant service instances provisioning, as you can see on the Bluemix Status Page. This is the reason why you are currently not able to instantiate the Node.js Cloudant DB Web Starter boilerplate. Please refer to the status page to know when the issue is fixed.

EDIT: The issue should now be fixed and you should be able to instantiate the boilerplate.
