I have a CouchDB 1.2.0 instance running on my laptop and I want to replicate a local database named "soup" to a remote machine, which runs a CouchDB 1.1.1 instance. I issue the replication from futon and I can see the request is alright:
Request URL:http://127.0.0.1:5984/_replicate
Request Method:POST
Request Payload: {"source":"soup","target":"http://projects.blurrcat.com/couchdb/soup"}
However, when the replication is done, all documents except the design documents are replicated. Can anyone tell me why? Is it because of the version difference?
Design documents will only replicate if you are authenticated as an admin, or a db admin, on your target. Try something like setting your target as
http://admin:[email protected]/couchdb/soup
