Version 0.8 won't die
Hi all,
I made the dread mistake of using apt-get to install couchdb. I created a
database while in 0.8, but everything choked when I tried to replicate from
my local 0.9 version. Since then I have been trying to get to 0.9 on this
Debian Lenny instance. I have uninstalled 0.8 with apt-get remove with and
without the --purge option. I have done manual searches eliminating any
trace of couchdb from the server. I have tried installing fresh from source
stable and trunk. Each iteration of removals and installation has involved
its own unique hurdles. But without fail, as soon as I get couchdb
installed, I do a curl test: curl "http://127.0.0.1:5984" and get
back {"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"0.8.0-incubating"}.
Any idea why version 0.8 won't die? Is this message just a holdover from 0.8
or is it really still 0.8 after hours of effort scouring it from my server?
Appreciate any info,
Rue

You could also attach strace to the beam process to work out which
files it's accessing: stace -p <pid>

PS: Replication is so unbelievably awesome! This is my first time having a
use for it, and it rocks. The issue that I mentioned before was having to do
with trying to replicate from 0.9.x to the rogue 0.8.
Best!

Thanks. This was the it.
Not sure why it didn't occur to me to look for a rogue process.

Now I assume the Debian packager (*cough* Noah) made sure that
removing the package would make sure that any CouchDB processes were
shutdown, but have you tried looking at the process table to see if
there's still one hanging about?
$ ps ax | grep beam

It does explain why you couldn't replicate though.

Try:
$ dpkg -S couchdb
Or perhaps
$ sudo updatedb && locate couchdb

I don't really care about the data in the 0.8 database. I would be happy to
loose it (if I only could). So, this README just doesn't help much. Sorry.

Is there a full list of files and binaries installed by couchdb? I am just
trying to get to version 0.9 anyway possible. Something is hanging around
making my life very miserable.

You should have read this:

No idea.
