title: Connecting Couchbase sync adapter to couchdb server
body: <p>How do I connect the couchbase sync adapter to a couchdb server, the docs only say how to use couchbase server and then to use the "administrator console" which couchdb doesn't have, and when I run</p>
  
  <pre><code>sync_adapter -url 192.168.1.xx/mydb 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it returns an error</p>
  
  <p>Before you say "it can't be done", here is a  quote from the couchbase docs </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>"Couchbase Lite can sync with servers running Apache CouchDB and with
    Couchbase Server via Sync Gateway."</p>
