In my couchapp rewrites.js file, I don't have any heading / in the from 
entry, but it could be that it works anyway.

For this rewrite to work, you need an attachment to the design doc 
called app/index.html (or a file _attachments/app/index.html in your 
couchapp project). Is this the case ?

Did you check you vhost entry ? database/_design/designdocname/_rewrite

One very good hint to know what is going on is looking at the couch.log 
file, since the rewritten path is showed there, so you can understand 
what the rewrite engine is doing.

Do you know that you can edit the config on the fly ? Either with futon 
http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/config.html by editing the vhosts/hostname 
key or with curl doing

|curl -XPUT -d'"||rednecks/_design/rednecks/_rewrite"' http://admin:password@127.0.0.1:5984/_config/vhosts/rnr.couchdb:5984|

Both these methods don't require a couchdb restart (reload is done 
automatically). Very handy !

Franck
