Neville,
Glad you are up and running.
It does not look as if hostname will work. I tried it on my test couchdb
instance.
using 0.0.0.0 will make it bind to available IP addresses which may, or
may not be suitable.
best regards
cliff
PS You can also access the configuration page from the futon menu (under
tools)

Hi Cliff,
Thanks for that. Pity I wasn't able to find this for myself. :)
I tried adding the PC's Hostname and Erlang wasn't happy. I noticed
the Werl window mentioned etc/local.ini so I opened that and changed
the Hostname to the IP address and it works as I wanted.
Do you know if a Hostname should work for the bid address?

I'm trying to access CouchDB on a PC on my LAN using its IP address
ie. 192.168.1.2:5984 and failing. I can access it on the other PC
using localhost but using the PC's IP address on the same PC also
fails. I can ping the other PC ok. I also tried using the PC's Host
Name and that failed.
I've tried Googling "CouchDB Web Server address" etc. and looking on
the Wiki without success. I was wondering whether I can specify the
address the server uses.
