can't upgrade from .10 to .11
How do I upgrade from .10 to .11.
Ubuntu makes it easy to install the first one
I just did
sudo aptitude install couchdb as per the definitive guide
but to upgrade to 1.0 or .11 I downloaded first the 64 bit .bin file on couchio
when I double click it doesn't recognize the file so that didn't work.
going to the couchdb mirror gives me this file
apache-couchdb-o.11.1 and inside are a million files. I don't know what to do to install this.
So ...
help
Thanks,
Dan

Okay I installed it. Couchdb 1.0 now exists in the user/home folder
but how do I start it.
And how does this version work with my existing databases in the other version
which is stored somewhere else
Thanks
Dan

it's ok to install there if you are just testing / learning. when you get to
install for production you can take the next step.
also, if you want to avoid dealing with any of this, you can get a free hosted
couch also at that URL http://couch.io/get

Re: can't upgrade from .10 to .11
Posted by wh...@aol.com.
I can install 1.0 from a package .bin but it tries to install in myname/home.
Then what would that mean?
Plus 1.0 has problems anyway right?
So where would I find good instructions for source install on ubuntu. I hear that it is very difficult and I've seen
multiple procedures all over the web with multiple caveats. Could you direct me to
what I need?
I don't know what a symlink is so I would need to read up on that too.
I've only been using linux for about a week.
Thanks,
Dan

The easiest way to upgrade on Ubuntu is to follow the source install
procedure and leave the system-wide couchdb intact.
The system couchdb will not clash because the source install goes to
/usr/local by default.
Then just replace the /etc/init.d/couchdb with a symlink to
/usr/loca/etc/init.d/couchdb and it will start you new version of
couch.

Re: can't upgrade from .10 to .11
Posted by wh...@aol.com.
I got that to work by changing some x thing. But then it was going to install in myusername/home
so I wasn't sure what the implications of that would be so I didn't install it.
It sounded like I would have had two versions of couch running.
Should I try that?
Also what about the 1.0 bug?
Which way should I proceed?
Thanks,
Dan

There is also an ubuntu installer here which will not disturb the system
CouchDB.
http://www.couch.io/get
Was it you who mentioned it not working with double-click? I'm not sure (don't
have an ubuntu handy) but I bet you run it from the terminal it will work.

There is also an ubuntu installer here which will not disturb the system CouchDB.

Was it you who mentioned it not working with double-click? I'm not sure (don't have an ubuntu handy) but I bet you run it from the terminal it will work.

Re: can't upgrade from .10 to .11
Posted by Randall Leeds <ra...@gmail.com>.
The easiest way to upgrade on Ubuntu is to follow the source install
procedure and leave the system-wide couchdb intact.
The system couchdb will not clash because the source install goes to
/usr/local by default.
Then just replace the /etc/init.d/couchdb with a symlink to
/usr/loca/etc/init.d/couchdb and it will start you new version of
couch.

Just Missed you on irc. on irc one person suggested install instead of upgrade that didn't work.
Another wanted me to grep everything (not sure what that means) but it returned that most
packages were .0.10.0 then ..
people said. "It won't be easy to upgrade" and that's where it left off.
So I'm stuck still if you have some time.

no processes are running, but it still doesn't work.
I installed couchio version 1.0 in home/couchdb but I don't know how to start it up.
arrrghhh. I've spent all day on this and still gotten nowhere.
If I install it from the source would that work. Instructions?

I'd recommend stopping couchdb and using `ps` to see if there are any couchdb
processes still running. If there are, then kill them (including the heart
process) or restart the box, and see if you still have this problem.
Context: I/we/Debian patched the init file in release 0.10.1-2, adding a
configurable grace period so that couchdb could stop before the init script
ended (it also added harsher stop instructions to make sure couchdb was really,
REALLY stopped). This was manifesting as a problem when you would uninstall or
upgrade the package - ex., old code from the previous version would still be
running in a process. You would have this patch since, as Noah said, Ubuntu
still pulls couchdb from Debian. But you might be having problems with the
patch.

I followed your instructions the apt-get upgrade couchdb
after updating
and starting couchdb I still get Futon on Apache CouchDB 0.10.0 in the lower right corner when going to
localhost:5984/_utils
curl http://127.0.0.1:5984/
gives back
couchdb welcome version .0.10.0
So what do I try next.
Do I have to restart the computer?

Subject: Re: can't upgrade from .10 to .11
If you are on Ubuntu, you should run:
apt-get update
Then run:
apt-get upgrade couchdb
That should upgrade it to the latest version for you.
You should be able to find documentation if you view this file:
/usr/share/doc/couchdb
Most notably, the Debian package I built that I believe Ubuntu may still mirror
from, versions the data directories so that a new install of CouchDB will use
its own database files, instead of overwriting your old ones.
If, however, you want to install from source, then you should check out the
README files in the tarball you downloaded. Google around for tutorials on how
to install CouchDB from source on Ubuntu. There are plenty, including the one I
wrote for the CouchDB book! If you have any specific problems getting a source
install to run, just post back to the mailing list. I would, however, recommend
that you try to get a package working for now.
