Using a local CouchDB about birdreader HOT 3 CLOSED

This is my config file for a local couchdb:

$ cat config.json

{
"cloudant": {
"server": "http://192.168.0.23",
"port": 5984,
"username": "",
"password": "",
"secure": false
}
}

$

Hope that helps

Excellent!! It must have been because Iw as using my external IP. This works great.
I think I may want to try and lock down couchdb next because anyone can get to the couchdb url.
For now this works great.
Thanks,

You don't need "secure": true for a local CouchDB installation because plain CouchDB just uses http (not https).

Here's a guide for how to secure CouchDB: http://guide.couchdb.org/draft/security.html

Hope this helps.
