unable to delete a document as an instance wide admin
Hi guys,
Im trying to delete a document as the instance wide admin both from futon and from command line via curl,
but this is what i get:
> curl -X DELETE http://lalyos:iwonttellya@lalyos.couchone.com/somedb/someid?rev=6-e36e512fa0ffa6e5b069f210d292a9fa
{"error":"forbidden","reason":"Sorry, you can only delete your own work."}
as you can see the instance is at couchone.com, so i dont have acces to local.ini but i can see on futon's 'Configuration' page
lalyos listed as 'admins
why is the database admin not able to delete a document?
cheers,
lalyos

thanks a lot Zach!
that was it. i was using the "swinger" presentation example couchapp,
and it had a bug in the validate_doc_update function, after fixing it
i was able to delete.
cheers,

You could be failing a validation. Have you defined any design
documents with a validate_doc_update function for this database?
