Update: Using the url http://localhost/mydb worked at the end.
What I tried: - use "create_target" : true with http://localhost/mydb -> failed, permission denied - use "create_target" : true with http://adminuser:adminpassword@localhost/mydb -> failed, permission denied - create mydb first, replicate with http://localhost/mydb -> worked Seems like 2 bugs: - database needs URL, local name doesn't work - database creation fails even for admin account Nevertheless: I got my objective for now, happy camper Create a nice day!
