Databases are stored in the relative folder ../var/lib/couchdb/ by default:
[couchdb]
database_dir = ../var/lib/couchdb
view_index_dir = ../var/lib/couchdb
I can't find a way of moving this to an absolute path. What should I type to store databases on a different disk?
Edit: Can it be a rights problem? I first changed it to c:/temp without luck. Did not see existing databases, and could not create new ones. Restarted the service, and then it worked.
After changing database_dir to a shared folder (z:/...) I get the following response when trying to create a new db with Futon:
{gen_server,call, [couch_server, {create,<<"tools">>, [{user_ctx, {user_ctx,null, [<<"_admin">>], <<"{couch_httpd_auth, default_authentication_handler}">>}}]}]}
Again I'm not able to see existing databases either. This time a restart want solve anything.
I'm running this inside a VMWare Fusion session. Z is a shared folder set up through vmware.
