When upgrading from 1.0 to 1.0.1, some databases have illegal names others are missing

Hi,

I just upgraded from 1.0 to 1.0.1 and discovered in futon some "new" 
databases named 0.10/database_name, which according to the names seem to 
be dbs used on a 0.10  version of couch.

And my previous databases created in the 1.0 version are simply missing !

So I checked the the files related to those databases on my disk ( in 
/usr/local/var/lib/couch on my ubuntu ) , and the dbs and views created 
with 1.0 version are present, while the dbs shown on futon are not !

As I'm in currently in a dev process, and have to progress in my work, I 
realy cannot keep this state, so I pruned all the 1.0 db files on the fs 
and recreated them from my dev environnement.

I really don't know how will this affect prduction environnement running 
in 1.0 but I'm not realy confident ...

However I'd realy like to get rid of the 0.10/ databases in futon, so if 
you have any clues on this, I'd really appreciate.

Cheers,

cdrx

Hi,

Finally I found what the "problem" was ;).

My newly build 1.0.1 uses old files from /var/lib/couchdb, instead of 
the ones under /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb.

Looking at the cmd line history I discovered that I used '--prefix= ', 
wich I usually don't.

And I made a backup of my old 0.10 databases in a folder named 0.10 
under /usr/var/lib/couchdb prior to moving to 0.11 couple of months ago.

Re-configuring/compling/installing from tarball fixed this behaviour.

So there are no issues with couchdb only with my brain when it does not 
have enough coffee ....

Sorry for the message pollution,

Regards,

cdrx

Hi cdrx

maybe a dumb question, but might the 0.10 be desktopCouch? built into
ubuntu. http://www.kryogenix.org/days/2009/09/03/desktop-couch-irc-talk

I'd have thought you would have noticed this ealier though, for
example with your previous 1.0 environment needing to be set up on a
different port or bind address ?

A+
