CouchDB on Local Network

couchdb, localhost

Solution

Take a look at `etc/couchdb/local.ini` file read by couch. There is a `bind_address` option in `[httpd]` section. If you set it to `0.0.0.0` CouchDB will listen on all the interfaces.

Problem

I have couch running and set up a local, static ip on my computer so that I could have a local network going, 127.0.0.1:5984/_utils works, but my static ip 192.168.1.4:5984/_utils doesnt. I've tried pinging 192.168.1.4, and that goes though but 192.168.1.4:5984 doesnt. Thoughts? EDIT: I am working in a windows environment.
