Problems downgrading from 0.11.0 to 0.10.1
Hi,
after downgrading from CouchDB 0.11.0 to 0.10.1 a dialog window indicating
"Database information could not be retrieved: illegal_database_name" pops up
whenever I click on "Overview" in Futon. I noticed that after creating an
admin user with 0.11.0 I now have a "_users" database which seems to be the
problematic database. I cannot remove it nor enter its documents.
How to fix this?

Also, there may be a view file for that database, check for hidden files.
And, of course we're curious about the reasons for downgrading.

Hi,
Can you try and remove it by hand from /var/lib/couchdb or whatever other
data directory you have?
Cheers,

I don`t know how to fix this but try to remove database files
themselfs - something like /var/lib/couchdb/_users ?

you'll likely also need to delete the admins section in the ini file, where it keeps a secret, if your downgrade didn't refresh that file
