Accessing Futon externally
Hi all,
I've got CouchDB compiled and running on a CentOS server, and I can access it locally through cURL and the application that runs on it.
How do I expose Futon so I can access it from my remote workstation? I've tried changing the bind address to 0.0.0.0 but it has no effect.

Hi Ian,
It was the firewall - I was starting iptables and csf in the wrong order, needed to be iptables then csf, my mistake, thanks for the help!

Hi Ian,
If that's all there is to it, I'll have another look at the firewall rules, thanks.

Hi Martin,
The address to use is: http://<domain or IP>:5984/_utils/
If that does not work, you may have a fire walling issue. This could be
either that your Centos server firewall is not allowing your messages
in, or that
your source machine is not allowed to send messages out on port 5984.
Not knowing the firewalls that are set up, we can't help further.
