Noel, that seemed to do the trick for me. For the community maybe this should be clarified because the docs are contradictory as far as I can tell. As far as I can see there is absolutely no documentation for chttpd. There's a section called: CouchDB HTTP Server ere's a at http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.0.0/config/http.html and it explicity says that [httpd] should be configured for exactly what I was trying to do: bind_address <http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.0.0/config/http.html#httpd/bind_address>
Defines the IP address by which CouchDB will be accessible: [httpd]bind_address = 127.0.0.1 To let CouchDB listen any available IP address, just set up 0.0.0.0 value: [httpd]bind_address = 0.0.0.0 But,is an seemingly ominous contradiction, the comments in the .ini file comments: ; NOTE that this only configures the "backend" node-local port, not the ; "frontend" clustered port. You probably don't want to change anything in ; this section. I don't understand the reference to the "frontend" clustered port because I just came from CouchDB 1.6.1 and don't understand and am not using clustering yet. But the docs seem to say that [httpd] bind_address SHOULD be configured for a simple unclustered server or maybe a clustered one too. The local.ini comments for [chttpd] mention the Mochiweb HTTP server and I don't know what that is or if I'm using it and I can't tell if that reference only describes on of the lines called server_options Again nothing about chttpd is explained in the docs.
