Hi

I have a couchapp on http://arteigenschaften.ch.
It's built with the original python couchapp tool.

My goal:
Instead of
"http://arteigenschaften.ch/artendb/_design/artendb/index.html"
the url should look like:
"http://arteigenschaften.ch/index.html<http://arteigenschaften.ch/artendb/_design/artendb/index.html>
"

In local.ini I have:
[vhosts]
arteigenschaften.ch:5984 = /artendb/_design/artendb/_rewrite
After uploading the local.ini file I do: "service couchdb restart" to apply
it.

In my project root I have a file "rewrites.js" with this rule:
[
{
"method": "*",
 "from": "/artendb/_design/artendb",
"to": ""
}
]

This is copied into the design document by the couchapp tool.

What am I missing to make it work?


*****************
Side issue:

What seems rather odd to me is that the rewrites rules are copied not as
clean json but as a string:

"rewrites": "[\r\n\t{\r\n\t\t\"method\": \"*\",\r\n\t\t\"from\":
\"/artendb/_design/artendb\",\r\n\t\t\"to\": \"\"\r\n\t}\r\n]"


I once got an error in the frontend saying that rewrites should be json not
text but weird enough this message has not reappeared.

Anyway, I have changed the rewrites rule in the design document in futon to:

"rewrites": [
       {
           "method": "*",
           "from": "/artendb/_design/artendb",
           "to": ""
       }
   ],


This is nicer but - sigh - doesn't work either.


Thanks for help.

Alex
