title: CouchDB change bind_address without using Fauxton
body: <p>I would like to update the bind address of my CouchDB v3.1.0 instance (note: installed on Windows 10).</p>
  <p>I would like to do so <em>without</em> using the Web UI (Fauxton).</p>
  <p>Here is what I am doing:</p>
  <ol>
  <li>Opening <code>C:\CouchDB\etc\local.ini</code> in a text editor</li>
  <li>Within the <code>[chhtpd]</code> section, I am setting <code>bind_address = 0.0.0.0</code>
  <ul>
  <li>Based on <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/21786361/11163122">this answer</a></li>
  </ul>
  </li>
  </ol>
  <pre class="lang-ini prettyprint-override"><code>[chttpd]
  ;port = 5984
  bind_address = 0.0.0.0
  ; Options for the MochiWeb HTTP server.
  ;server_options = [{backlog, 128}, {acceptor_pool_size, 16}]
  ; For more socket options, consult Erlang's module 'inet' man page.
  ;socket_options = [{sndbuf, 262144}, {nodelay, true}]
  </code></pre>
  <ol start="3">
  <li>Saving the changes</li>
  <li>Restarting the <code>Apache CouchDB</code> service via <code>services.msc</code>
  <ul>
  <li>Per <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/29663368/11163122">this answer</a></li>
  </ul>
  </li>
  <li>I find the change of <code>bind_address</code> hasn't taken effect</li>
  </ol>
  <p>It seems the <code>[chttpd]</code> section of <code>C:\CouchDB\etc\local.d\10-admins.ini</code> is overriding my value.</p>
  <pre class="lang-ini prettyprint-override"><code>[chttpd]
  bind_address = 127.0.0.1
  port = 5984
  </code></pre>
  <p>What am I doing wrong?  Do I need to change the <code>bind_address</code> in the <code>10-admins.ini</code> file?</p>
