If you are already using Windows, why not just run couchdb on that OS. I have been running on it on straight Windows XP for about a year without significant issues. I have also been running it for a lesser time on Windows Vista. Did you try the windows only route? Why switch? You can see my installation notes here: http://dlr2008.wordpress.com/2011/03/03/rest-ruby-on-rails-couchdb-and-me/
I am using Chrome as a browser and Ruby On Rails for development and recently have implemented Microsoft MVC 3 against couchdb but have not blogged that experience yet. dennis On Monday, October 24, 2011, Clarke Bishop <[email protected]> wrote: > CouchDB 1.01 is setup as a package in Ubuntu.
