error when deleting an document

[Niels Boldt <ni...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I get the following error when trying to delete a document

c:\Program Files\curl>curl -X DELETE
http://localhost:5984/crawl_3/myid?rev=1-b1
52c6ee36fc9fde91898a52d035358f -v

{"error":"forbidden","reason":"Document must have a url"}
* Connection #0 to host localhost left intact
* Closing connection #0

I tried also doing it from Futon using the ui and it gave the same error.
There was no difference if I was logged in as administrator.

I can't really figure out what the problem is here. Google does not really
turn anything up here.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Niels

Niels,

Sounds like you have validate_doc_update function defined in one of that
database's design documents. Basically, you'll want to ensure that this
function doesn't check for the "url" property when the document's
"_deleted" property is true.

Here's an old thread for a simliar problem:

Cheers,
