[Couchdb Wiki] Update of "How to replicate a database" by awong

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Couchdb Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by awong:
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/How_to_replicate_a_database

The comment on the change is:
Initial creation of the page.

New page:
How to replicate a database

Fire up Futon and head over to the replication option
e.g. http://localhost:5984/_utils/replicator.html

The replication option prompts you to either specify a CouchDB instance to push towards or a CouchDB instance to pull from. If the replication is not within the same CouchDB instance you will need to specific a URL.
The correct format for the URL is: http://<address>:<port>/<database name>

e.g http://192.168.197.132:5984/test_suite_db_b

It is important to specific the database name in the URL as Futon does not assume anything with respect to the source or destination database based upon the originating or destination database.
