Yes you answered the question : if you can access from your browser to server_ip, and your source db runs on the same as browser, yes source db can get server_ip. Except if some antivirus or firewall or something else denies to cmd (or service if running 0.11 - which version are you running 0.9 - 0.11 ? which os ?) to go out to 5984 to remote, but accepts it when this is initiated by the browser ?
At this point, you should try to sniff the communication to port 5984 between 127.0.0.1 and server_ip to check if they are speaking together or not. Try wireshark for exemple. You should see that when using hostname, nothing is going out....
To illustrate my first thought :I try two replication : first with ip, second with hostname. As you could read, when using hostname, the log, with error, is exactly the same you get .
First, replication is made with ip : -> success[Fri, 29 Jan 2010 11:25:12 GMT] [info] [<0.11862.0>] starting replication "4925b1e30fdce425609eec7e8f3b2202" at <0.11915.0> [Fri, 29 Jan 2010 11:25:12 GMT] [info] [<0.11915.0>] recording a checkpoint for db1 -> http://10.0.0.2:5984/mydb/ at source update_seq 5 [Fri, 29 Jan 2010 11:25:12 GMT] [info] [<0.11862.0>] 127.0.0.1 - - 'POST' /_replicate 200

I have no more idea at this time. Sorry. Please let me known if you find some solution. Thierry Stéphane Mourey a écrit :
Thierry, Thanks again. I cannot see any diffence between your two posts, I may need new googles... But I think I get the point. So: My source db runs on the same host as my browser (i.e. on my desktop), and I try to run the replication from Futon on this host (i.e. http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/replicator.html). I suppose that if my browser can access to the remote db (http://server_ip:5984/mydb), my local couchdb server can also, am I right? I suppose this answer your question. Any idears? Best regards, Stephane 2010/1/29 zecat <[email protected]>Ouppss some mistakes in urls: Please use this answer... Stéphane, You open Futon from your browser by calling http://ip1:5984/_utils Right ? (ie : http://10.0.0.1:5984/mydb ) You have checked you can access the db using http://server_ip:5984/mydbfrom your browser. (ie http://10.0.0.2:5984/mydb ) Have you checked that server IP1 (ie: 10.0.0.1) is able to communicate with server_ip (ie 10.0.0.2) on port 5984 ? As the replication script runs on IP1 (ie : 10.0.0.1) , it must have this access. Thierry zecat a écrit :Stéphane, You open Futon from your browser by calling http://ip1:5984/_utils Right ?

Best regards, Stephane 2010/1/29 zecat <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> Hi, I have experimented this trouble during two days, until I found that replication (_replicate) is not able to work with hostname in from or target field. Try only with IP address and you will see that replication is working very well as expected (-; Thierry Stéphane Mourey a écrit : Hi everybody, I've start to work with Couch just a month ago, and I'm very enthousiastic about it. I'm working on my desktop for development purposes. Now I'm trying to replicate my local db on our server. Both Couchdb server seems to work correctly.
