 To ensure local CouchDB database is externally accessible first go to the configuration page

 http://localhost:5984/_utils/config.html

 and change bind_address (httpd section) from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 then restart
 CouchDB.

 To confirm, use command 

 lsof -i -n -P | grep LISTEN

 in Terminal. If you see something like this:

 beam.smp  15257 rpage    9u  IPv4 0x1cca7aec      0t0  TCP *:5984 (LISTEN)

 then CouchDB is accessible. If, however, you see this:

 beam.smp  16999 rpage    9u  IPv4 0x0d65b304      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:5984 (LISTEN)

 then only accessible from localhost. See http://serverfault.com/questions/79453/why-cant-i-access-my-couchdb-instance-externally-on-ubuntu-9-04-server for background.
