How to get the CouchDB port number from JavaScript?

[mindless1973]

Hi,

I would like to access the built in CouchDB from either Java or JavaScript. However, as the port number is chosen randomly at every system restart, I would need a way to get the port number automatically using JavaScript (or Java) so that my application can connect.

Can anyone tell me how to get that port number, or how to set the port number to a fixed value (why is it floating anyway...)?

Thanks,

bye
me.

No, idea.

Python is WAY easier and better to use than java anyhow.

Ok, so - how would you do it in Python then?

I mean, I am flexible :-)
