Remote access to couchDB not working

I have a couchDB instance, running on my server.

Followed to the instructions on couchDB documentation i want to access the admin console of my couchdb from my pc, but it doesn't work.

I also restarted the couched after i changed the /etc/couchdb/local.ini file.

when i check the listening ports with:

netstat -ntulp

the output is:

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5984 0.0.0.0:* LiSTEN -

So actually it should be accessible, but it isn't.

What i have to do, that i can access my couchdb from remote?

CouchDB Version: 1.5.0

Server: Ubuntu 14.04

Solution

  • I solved this Problem with the answer of this question: Access CouchDB Futon

    I have only to create a ssh tunnel to my remote couchdb:

    ssh -f -L localhost:15984:127.0.0.1:5984 user@remote_host -N
