Having trouble accessing couchdb via curl

[Bernardo Elayda <be...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I'm using couchdb v 0.10 on Ubuntu 9.10.

Access to couchdb via a browser or driver(couchdbkit) is fine.  But, I
want to be able to access it via curl.  Everytime I try to do this via
an url which works in my browser, I
alwasy get 'connection refused'.

iptables are totally opened. I've also turned it off.  No change.
When I checked for errors(sudo -u couchdb couchdb), there are no
errors.  "netstat -tap tcp" indicates that port 5894 is open and listening.

Is there anything else I can do to get curl to work with couchdb 0.10?

tia,
Bernardo

I head couchdb runs on different port for each user in Ubuntu because of
ubuntuOne

Run "netstat -tanup" to check where couch is listening to.

I assume you're talking about the curl command-line tool, and not curl
linked as a library into some other app or language.

Tell us:
(1) the exact URL you put into your browser
(2) your exact curl command line and the response that comes back - using
    copy-paste.
(3) try it again, adding '-v' to the curl command line.

If the curl line is something like
   curl http://127.0.0.1:5984/
then try 'tcpdump -i lo -n -s0 tcp port 5984' in another window (as root)
