Hi Maggie, You’re right, the “-a” switch is ignored in 2.0. That’s a miss on our part. I filed https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-3183. You can still drop files in the local.d directory and they should take precedence over any files in default.* as well as local.ini.
There are other undocumented ways to customize the list of configuration files that are consulted using flags in the vm.args file (and probably using some environment variables as well),, but I wouldn’t really recommend going there. Does the local.d option work for you or do you need to point to another location?
