Thanks, Paul. /etc/init.d/couchdb stop attempted to reload futon, but reload failed so couchdb was stopped
I did command you indicated with "cp" instead of "mv" (and didn't delete) /etc/init.d/couchdb start reload futon successful, but futon is still pointing to /0.10.0/ directory. Tried to "configure," but says I'm not a server admin. I am, but now need to see how to tell futon. I didn't run into this before, but maybe I just didn't get that far. I had set myself up in couchdb 0.10.0 as a db admin, but not a server admin. Old dbadmin credentials don't appear to be recognized as login is hanging.
