Re: old db version number showing up in names-> unreadable docs
Most odd.
Sounds like a config changed from the previous version. Ie, the db
path went from:
/path/to/dbs/0.10.0/
to
/path/to/dbs/
Which isn't out of this world unbelievable. To fix it, just do:
sudo mv /path/to/dbs/0.10.0/* /path/to/dbs/ && rmdir /path/to/dbs/0.10.0/
Make sure couchdb is stopped when you do that to avoid other funny errors.
Also, make sure to have a backup if you're not comfortable moving
datafiles around on the command line.

But why would that be in the system lib directory then?

couch.uri is how the port is discovered by desktopcouch, iirc.

Re: old db version number showing up in names-> unreadable docs

One final note: the admin permissions remained in local.ini, but I had
to reset the ownership of the files and directories in /etc/couchdb to
couchdb before I could actually log in as a server admin. This fixed
the "login hanging" problem I mentioned earlier in this thread.
Thanks again.
Best regards,
Dan

That seemed to work. Note to those following: I had to log in as user
couchdb (su couchdb) to copy the files with the correct permissions.
Thank you, Paul!

Right, no idea what couch.uri is, but to fix it you should just need
to move what's in the 0.10.0 up one directory. If there's nothing in
that directory you can just delete it.

/var/lib/couchdb:
0.10.0 couch.uri _users.couch
It looks like it made a "back-up" directory 0.10.0 of the existing
databases (that's what's in 0.10.0 directory)

Re: old db version number showing up in names-> unreadable docs
Posted by Dan Himes <dh...@vlesolutions.com>.
Thank you so much for your time, Paul. I am trying to be clear and
specific for those whom may follow...
In /etc/couchdb/default.ini I have:
[couchdb]
database_dir = /var/lib/couchdb
view_index_dir = /var/lib/couchdb
util_driver_dir = /lib/couchdb/erlang/lib/couch-1.0.1/priv/lib
...
This makes me think that everything "just worked" when following the
installation instructions. Sheer luck, though: I unpacked everything
in /home/dhimes/apache-couch* and did as instructed (I found nothing
telling me to unpack the tarball to any specific directory).

Check what's in /etc/couchdb/default.ini to see if its pointing at a
funny directory. Also, when you installed, did you make sure and
change install paths? Or did your new ini get installed to
/usr/local/etc/couchdb/default.ini?
HTH,

Thanks, Paul.
/etc/init.d/couchdb stop
attempted to reload futon, but reload failed so couchdb was stopped
I did command you indicated with "cp" instead of "mv" (and didn't
delete)
/etc/init.d/couchdb start
reload futon successful, but futon is still pointing to /0.10.0/
directory.
Tried to "configure," but says I'm not a server admin. I am, but now
need to see how to tell futon. I didn't run into this before, but maybe
I just didn't get that far. I had set myself up in couchdb 0.10.0 as a
db admin, but not a server admin. Old dbadmin credentials don't appear
to be recognized as login is hanging.
