Installing CouchDB on ISP server

Hi there,

since we naturally don't have root access on an ISP server, I'm 
wondering whether it is possible to install and run CouchDB in the user 
space. If so how do I have to do that?

Thanks,
Stephan

Re: Installing CouchDB on ISP server

For almost all Unix software, you'd download the source, extract it, and
run ./configure --prefix=/home/yourusername/softwarename. So for
Erlang/CouchDB, ./configure --prefix=/home/you/couchdb.

But I don't know if CouchDB and Erlang are standard autoconf tools.

Also, all users on the system will be able to access your CouchDB instance,
so be sure not to run it in Admin Party mode.

Our ISP doesn't has any problem with running server processes. So, is it 
possible to install CouchDB in a user space and how?

If you mean a shared-hosting account, those generally don’t let you run any kind of server process of your own. You’d need a more expensive dedicated server (or virtual-server) account for that. Instead, you can get a free hosted CouchDB server from iriscouch.com<http://iriscouch.com> or cloudant.com<http://cloudant.com>.
