doctor-claw opened a new issue, #5456: URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/5456
I have recently attempted to upgrade an existing 3.3.2 installation to 3.4.2 on Windows 10. The upgrade appeared successful, but Fauxton showed "Database failed to load" for all my databases. Upon inspecting `etc/vm.args` and comparing with another PC running 3.3.2, I noticed that 3.4.2 had changed the node name to `-name [email protected]` I changed it to `couchdb@localhost` and then could no longer log in to Fauxton (incorrect credentials, although I was definitely using the same username and password!). Reinstalling 3.4.2 and setting my original admin user and password did not help as part of the installer did not help. Editing `local.ini` to set my admin password did not work either: ``` [admins] admin = <my password> ``` I'm now in the process of rolling back to 3.3.2 and reinstating my databases, but I can confirm that a completely fresh install of 3.4.2 has `-name [email protected]` while a completely fresh install of 3.3.2 `-name couchdb@localhost`. Having had no problems upgrading from 3.2.2 in the past, and also checking an older machine with 3.2.2 on it having `localhost` as the node name, I would suspect it has been `localhost` for some time on 3.x I noted that the following wiki page indicated the change from `localhost` to `127.0.0.1` for 2.x to 2.1.1 but: a) this is not mentioned when upgrading to 3.4.x and b) why did it go from `127.0.0.1` in 2.1.1 back to `localhost` in 3.2.x/3.3.x and now back to `127.0.0.1` again in 3.4.x? https://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/whatsnew/2.1.html#upgrade-notes -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
