Running on port 80

[Zachary Zolton <za...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

How does one run CouchDB on port 80 without changing the COUCHDB_USER to root?

FYI, I'm running Ubuntu 9.10.


Cheers,

Zach

Technically you can - you can start with root privileges to bind to
port 80 and drop them to _couchdb but its a bit too complicated.
Zachary, its more convinient to use some frontend - nginx, lighttpd or
what ever.

You don't.

But you can proxy backwards from a HTTP daemon running on port 80.

See the wiki for reverse proxy configurations.
