Problem with couchdb-load

[Stuart Watson <St...@unep-wcmc.org>]

Hi

I created a backup of our chef server db by doing

couchdb-dump http://127.0.0.1:5984/chef |gzip -9c > /tmp/chef.`date +%F`.couchdb.gz

I'm now trying to restore it by doing

couchdb-load <name of backup> but nothing appears to happen after I press enter.  It's been running for about 3 hours so far.

Stuart

Hi again(:

1. You didn't replied me at couchdb-python mailing list(:

2. Assuming you're running in shell next command:
~ $ couchdb-load /tmp/chef.2012-02-12.couchdb.gz
This is invalid command due to:
- you have to specify database url as argument
- you have to specify dump as --input=FILE option
- you have not to pass gzipped dump because couchdb-load doesn't
handles gzipped files, only raw dumped sources (mime multipart
formatted)

3. Waiting for 3 hours for getting no result looks like issue in
command line arguments handling, so you better to make a little
research or problem and create issue[1] to let me not forget about it
on next week when I'll have a lot of time to handle various problems(:

Thanks!
