Hello All, I did find one solution, which is to delete all admins: "curl -X DELETE http://admin:[email protected]:5984/_config/admins/admin";
After this, the line "couchdb-load --input=backup20110530.bin http://127.0.0.1:5984/databasename"; worked like a charm. The above doesn't feel like the right action, so if anybody knows of a better solution, I'm very much interested to hear it.
