I played with my couchdb configuration, and I would like to start a new job again, uninstall the application and download a new one, it seems that I didn’t completely delete the configuration, where I still need to access with my username and password, and my dbs still exist.
Looking around the internet, I didn't seem to find a solution to fix the problem on mac os x (mavericks)
Well, I did a few things like:
- delete cache folder from
~/Library/Caches - delete any linked file / folder in
~/Library/Application Support/CouchDB - checking the configuration file from
~/Library/Preferences/couchdb-server.iniappears to be an alias for the configuration file in the Application SupportCouchDB folder - I also deleted several files that I do not remember their names.
Still installing the new boot couchdb does not work, and now I get the json message:
{"error": "unauthorized", "reason": "The username or password is incorrect." }
PS: My Mac OS X Mavericks and Couchdb 1.5.1 system
