Hey Stanley :-) Thanks for the advice and for a normal, CouchDB only setup, you're info is correct. However, with a Couchapp, it works a bit different. You have to setup the rewrites.js(json) file in your Couchapp directory structure and then it pushes the rewrite property to a specific doc in CouchDB. So the rewrites property is on the correct document. I _think_ my problem is in my paths. Either the vhosts, or in the rewrite "from" and/or the "to". I was hoping some here is using rewrites and would notice something in my provided code.
Also, I keep "services" open the background restart Couch after nearly every change. When you change one of the ini's, you have to. Thanks again for your help :-) Mark On Mon, Oct 7, 2013 at 9:24 PM, Stanley Iriele <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm in a movie but you need the full path to the rewrites section..also > your rewrites path is wrong..it should be > rednecks/_design/rednecks/_rewrites..And your rewrites.json file should be > in that place in your design doc ..just to be safe restart your database... > Via _restart...hope that helps > On Oct 7, 2013 5:01 PM, "Mark Deibert" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Ok so now I've added a rewrites.js file to my Couchapp root folder.
