Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-1086:
--------------------------------------------
Not sure what you mean. By default local.ini is the last config file specified
and by default takes all config writes from Futon. I'm not sure what version of
CouchDB you're running, but seeing as you mentioned GeoCouch its not an
official release so I can't comment on what's going on there.
But local.ini is by default blank. The point of its existence is to be the
place where config writes go from Futon or for when users want to override the
default.ini config. This way when users upgrade couch their local.ini is not
overwritten so their edits stick around.
> Improve config file write-back behavior.

> Key: COUCHDB-1086
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1086
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Futon
> Environment: Ubuntu 10.04
> Reporter: Michael Wiederhold
> Priority: Minor
>
> 1) I install couchdb and change the bind address in default.ini to 0.0.0.0 so
> I can access couch remotely.
> 2) In futon I change the bind address to 127.0.0.1 and then refresh the web
> page an the web ui disappears.
> 3) I go back into the config file default.ini and the bind address is still
> 0.0.0.0.
> 4) I then go into local.ini and there is nothing except for comments.
> 5) I restart the server and it binds to 127.0.0.1 and I cannot see futon.
> The issue is that when changing the bind address in futon, futon puts the new
> address in the config file with the highest priority which is in this case
> the geocouch config file, but the proper place to put the new bind address is
> in local.ini.
> I marked this as critical because I can see it affecting a decent amount of
> users. Should be a quick fix.
