How to disable fauxton interface?

Question

How to disable fauxton interface in couchdb? I'd like to make /_utils endpoint to be treated like a normal endpoint.

Answer 1

There's no way to make _utils be treated like a "normal" endpoint, since all endpoints that begin with _ are never normal. But you can disable it, and then it will be at least treated like a "normal" system endpoint.

From this source, (which talks about Futon--the _utils interface before CouchDB 2.x, but the same should work), simply comment-out the _utils line in your CouchDB default.ini file.
