Hello everybody,

I am working with CouchDB 1.6.1 on Windows. For my software I need the GeoCouch integration. The problem is, there is no manual how to install GeoCouch on Windows. So I tried on my own.

For the GeoCouch integration you have to build CouchDB from source. I built it following the instructions from “dch /glazier” on github (https://github.com/dch/glazier). After building CouchDB I followed the instructions from GeoCouch (https://github.com/dch/glazier) using Cygwin to get Linux functionalities. After all I had a CouchDB- and a GeoCouch build. For integrating the GeoCouch into CouchDB I copied the geocouch.ini file to the CouchDB folder “…\path-to-couchdb\etc\couchdb\default.d”. Additionally I set the ERL_FLAGS environment variable to the GeoCouch ebin folder. After starting CouchDB everything works fine except for the spatial functions. All GeoCouch JavaScript tests running into an error: “httpd 500 error response: {“error”:unknown_error”, “reason”:”undef”}”.

Does anybody know how to integrate GeoCouch into CouchDB on Windows or can someone tell me how to integrate additional modules into CouchDB?
For any help I am very grateful.

Best regards,
Matthias
