[jira] [Created] (COUCHDB-1400) Critical crash of Futon after misconfigured bind_address

Critical crash of Futon after misconfigured bind_address
--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: COUCHDB-1400
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1400
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Futon
    Affects Versions: 0.11.2
         Environment: CentOS 5.5 (64-bit)
            Reporter: Tim
             Fix For: 0.11.2


I made a mistake to change the configuration table's httpd/bind_address parameter to my domain, the domain that looks like www.google.com etc. That was supposed to be left at 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1. I remember making this mistake long time ago but now basically I can't access anything from either localhost and external. 

I am unable to reverse my setting because working with /etc/couchdb/default.ini or local.ini never affected this in the first place (spent 2 hours trying to modify these fails in order to get external access of couchDB). 

So Futon must have changed something when I set it. When I change the value, it stuck at the error: Some of the changes require database restart. Since then, I can never access my couchDB. 

I tried to yum remove erlang, yum remove couchdb several times. Checked to see if any default.ini or local.ini remains, restart system, log out users, but none of above works. 

Please help me with this problem as soon as possible.

------------------------------

Tried all those. Is it not a bug if I change local.ini and restart but nothing changed? Also the ini had proper bind_address when i reinstalled it.

[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-1400) Critical crash of Futon after misconfigured bind_address

Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-1400:
----------------------------------------

Hi,

You should stop couchdb (and verify that the process is not running), then fix local.ini (restore 0.0.0.0 for bind_address) and then start it up again.

I suggest hopping on our IRC channel #couchdb on irc.freenode.net or the user@ mailing list. JIRA is for bug reports, not support.

Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-1400:
----------------------------------------

the bind_address is only stored in the .ini files, it doesn't come from anywhere else. Therefore I think it's more likely that you haven't reset your .ini files correctly.

If couchdb is currently running, you can use netstat to see if it's bound to any interface. You can also tweak bind_address over http, assuming couch is bound to at least one interface. If it's bound to zero interfaces, then there's not much we can do about it.

Again, we can more easily assist with this support question on a support channel rather than our bug tracker.
