Strictly speaking the ini file that's last in the chain takes precedence, and
its also the file that gets changes written to.
You can see which ones are being used and in what order with
$ couchdb -c
/usr/local/etc/couchdb/default.ini
/usr/local/etc/couchdb/local.ini

A restart is not required, the erlang magic picks up the changed config for you.
If your config chain above doesn't raise warning bells, can you temporarily
up the log level to debug, try this:
COUCH=http://admin:passwd@localhost:5984
curl -vXPUT $COUCH/_config/httpd/fake_key -d '"fake_value"'
You should see something like this in your logs:
[Fri, 01 Jun 2012 18:10:23 GMT] [debug] [<0.287.0>] 'PUT'
/_config/httpd/fake_key {1,1} from "127.0.0.1"
Headers: [{'Accept',"*/*"},
{'Authorization',"Basic YWRtaW46cFGSzc3dk"},
{'Content-Length',"12"},
{'Content-Type',"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"},
{'Host',"localhost:5984"},
{'User-Agent',"curl/7.21.4 (universal-apple-darwin11.0)
libcurl/7.21.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8r zlib/1.2.5"}]
[Fri, 01 Jun 2012 18:10:23 GMT] [debug] [<0.287.0>] OAuth Params: []
[Fri, 01 Jun 2012 18:10:23 GMT] [info] [<0.287.0>] 127.0.0.1 - - PUT
/_config/httpd/fake_key 200
And you should be able to grep for fake_key if needed to see where
it's being written to.
In fact you can even use upping the log level as a check:
curl -vXPUT $COUCH/_config/log/level -d '"debug"'
and back to error
curl -vXPUT $COUCH/_config/log/level -d '"error"'
A+
