I am having an issue accessing CouchDB via an external computer, not via the 127.0.0.1 address.

I am running Ubuntu and I have changed the bind IP in /etc/couchdb/default.ini to 0.0.0.0 but it still doesn’t work, I have also disabed my firewall too so it should be connecting.

I am running a VPS on Ubuntu 12.04

    You shouldn’t have changed default.ini you should have changed local.ini because:

    1. default.ini will be overwritten by CouchDB upgrades and
    2. the settings in local.ini override the settings in default.ini.

    My guess is that your problem is caused by a bind_address setting in local.ini overriding the one you created in default.ini
