Hello all,
We want to use Apache httpd in front of CouchDB, so we can do pretty
URL's using mod_rewrite, limit what types of requests are allowed,
handle authentication, etc.
At first a lot of tests in the CouchDB test suite were failing. The
system administrator setting this for production up found that Apache
needed AllowEncodedSlashes and nocanon to make sure the %2f sequence in
URL's is preserved. There were some other problems, but they have been
solved.
Right now two tests are still failing:
config: # Assertion failed: config.httpd.port == port
This makes sense: we're sending requests to Apache on port 80, but
CouchDB is running on port 5984. Is this something we should fix or is
this harmless?
stats: # Assertion 'open_databases > 0 && max >= open_databases, name'
failed: should keep the same number of open databases when
reaching the max_dbs_open limit
This doesn't make sense to us right now. Could this have anything to do
with running Apache httpd in front of CouchDB?
Nils Breunese.
