Well, I was thinking it had something to do with CouchDB launching MochiWeb to serve the Futon pages up... Since Futon is just javascript that makes calls to the DB (all the DB functions appear to work fine) sending those requests from another webserver running Futon *should* work (I haven't tried 
it yet).
Same origin policy: You can only make Ajax calls back to the domain where the script was served from. While this can be circumvented, I don't think we're 
doing that.

Localhost and remotely I can hit http://[hostname]:5984/[my_db_name] just 
fine. For example:

http://localhost:5984/cosmicpuddle/
{"db_name":"cosmicpuddle","doc_count":0,"doc_del_count": 0,"update_seq":0,"purge_seq":0,"compact_running":false,"disk_size": 4096,"instance_start_time":"1241589261681614"} 

and http://[remote_host]:5984/cosmicpuddle/
{"db_name":"cosmicpuddle","doc_count":0,"doc_del_count": 0,"update_seq":0,"purge_seq":0,"compact_running":false,"disk_size": 4096,"instance_start_time":"1241589261681614"}
All return proper and safe. May I ask where I can find documentation on db_info? Is that an internal Erlang module function or is it a '_all_dbs' 
style http request function?

Chris,
Thank you for the reply. I did notice that (bad Unix timestamps usually generate that 1969 value), I checked my system clock and it is set and 
set

correctly.

One factor that may be leading to a few unknowns is that CouchDB is

running
in a Jail. Now, I don't really see why that would affect it's operation 
(as
the Jail is just a clone of the host) but it *is* an unknown variable and there may be a configuration or something going on somewhere I am not 
aware

of...
I'll keep digging, in the meantime I'm thinking of molding Futon to work 
on
a remote instance of CouchDB - as it is just HTML and JS. I do know I'll have to rewrite the servername part of the URL to get the JS to submit to the server properly, but, that is beginning to look like the best route 
ATM.




If you can access the remote couchdb over http you should be able to
use it's copy of futon just fine. the problem I see is probably the
result of the db_info request. you should get the same error if you
hit http://host:5984/my-db-name with a GET request


Thank you again :)

it looks like your system clock is set to 1969. is that the case? does 
fixing it help?

if not you might have discovered a bug in the Erlang std library.
seems unlikely so do try to set your clock and see if that helps.

The server I have CouchDB running on is a FreeBSD server. I install 
Erlang

5.6.5 from ports and CouchDB 0.9.0 from ports as well. All other

functions

seem to work properly (although I haven't tested thoroughly).
Ie: http://[domain]:5984:/_all_dbs/ works just fine, and so does CURL commands to create a database on the server... Futon is just throwing 
this
unusable stack trace at me and I'm hoping somone with more experience 
and

knowledge of the codebase or system could find that stack trace

helpful.


If there are other log/debug sources I can look at as well, please

inform

me

- I would love to be able to use the Futon interface!
