you’ll be able to run the document based nosql database „couchdb“ (http://couchdb.apache.org/) in just a few minutes on your server if you follow these steps:

# apt-get install couchdb

after successfull installation couchdb is binded by default on 127.0.0.1 (localhost). To access via your IP, you have to change the BindAddress value which is set to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/couchdb/couch.ini:

BindAddress=yourIPhere

After restarting couchdb service you should be able to access via browser:

# /etc/init.d/couchdb restart

Now open a browser and browse to http://yourdomain.com:5984/ you’ll see your couchdb running.
You can access the web admin called „futon“ on http://yourdomain.com:5984/_utils/
