Don't forget the port number when replicating CouchDB
In the afternoon I needed to replicate a database from my co-worker's CoudhDB using CouchDBX. In the replicator, I entered my co-worker's database's path like the following:
http://10.0.0.3/TestDatabase
And I selected to replicate to one of my existing databases. Everything seemed to be right (I could ping and telnet my co-worker's IP and CouchDB port 5984 without problem), but CouchDBX returned error 500, could not connect to remote database.
After a series of diagnostics, we finally realized, we forgot to put the port number in the path of remote database. When we changed the database path to http://10.0.0.3:5984/TestDatabase, everything just worked very well.
I'm sharing this since I bet many people may encounter the same problem. Hope this is helpful.
