Hey guys, I tried to simplify the issue by allowing all in ACL, and this time the issue was with internal target CouchDB at localhost. I had the same 'db not found' error for target db at localhost.
So, I configured http_access deny localhost set on Squid, but the same error. Finally, I changed to bind_address of CouchDB to 0.0.0.0, and changed the ip address of target to actual IP address (not localhost), and it worked. It seems like using proxy uses proxy server even for request to localhost. I think it should be changed such that it doesn't forward the request to proxy server when the target or dest IP address is localhost. -Yang From: Franck Eyraud <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Sunday, September 8, 2013 2:09 AM To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>, Yang Chung <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: Replication through proxy does not work? Ho Chung, Doesn't couchdb try to access 127.0.0.1<http://127.0.0.1> using the proxy? I learnt that to access the local DB as admin, it is better to use the user_ctx key, you don't have to give the password in clear text in the replicator document.

Or can it be a configuration issue on my proxy server? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
