I have the ability to shell into a Linux (RHEL6) server, and manage mostly everything, but I don't have root user abilities, so I can't use YUM or any of the available package managers on the box. Due to some red tape, I've been told if I can get CouchDB installed to just a specific context root, I can then start it up as a service using any server side script.
My problem is, my workstation is a windows machine, and I can't figure out how to get a compiled version of CouchDB installed on the Linux box without using Yum or any other package manager.
Can CouchDB be installed to run as a daemon on just a specific context root, and can I get it uploaded to that root without having to initiate that download from the server?
