A possible solution might be as simple as this: create a virtualhost in apache2 that points to a particular documentRoot:
file: /etc/apache2/sites-available/couchdb.example.com -start------ <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName couchdb.example.com ServerAdmin [email protected] DirectoryIndex index.html DocumentRoot /var/www/couchdb.example.com/htdocs/ #Options FollowSymLinks #AllowOverride None </VirtualHost> -end------ sudo a2ensite couchdb.example.com sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload (or the equivalent for your system) then, in /var/www/couchdb.example.com/htdocs/ create a file called '.htaccess' with the following content: -start------ <Files .htaccess> order allow,deny deny from all </Files> <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on #the get options RewriteRule ^db-name(.*)$ http://localhost:5984/db-name$1 [P] </IfModule> -end------ 'curl http://couchdb.example.com/index.html' will load the document residing at: /var/www/couchdb.example.com/htdocs/index.html 'curl http://couchdb.example.com/db-name' will load the document residing at: http://localhost:5984/db-name (i.e. access the couchdb database) make sure you have mod_proxy and mod_rewrite enabled! hope this helps, Dennis On 20 aug 2010, at 08:07, Randall Leeds wrote: > Ahh.
