Noah Slater updated COUCHDB-498:
--------------------------------

    Comment: was deleted

(was: "since the admin users would be stored in /etc/couchdb/local.ini which is always picked up."

Wrong. The -n switch COMPLETELY resets the chain, including the default locations.)

> .ini file chaining not properly reset by -n switch

> I've added as line 220 in /usr/bin/couchdb:
>     echo "startarguments: $start_arguments"
> Now, when I do:
> /usr/bin/couchdb -n -a /tmp/tmp871WkT/xdg_config/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.ini -p /tmp/tmp871WkT/xdg_cache/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.pid -o /tmp/tmp871WkT/xdg_cache/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.stdout -e /tmp/tmp871WkT/xdg_cache/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.stderr -b
> I get:
> Apache CouchDB has started, time to relax.
> eric@thelog:~$ startarguments:  \"/etc/couchdb/default.ini\", \"/etc/couchdb/local.ini\",  \""/etc/couchdb/default.ini"\", \""/tmp/tmp871WkT/xdg_config/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.ini"\"
> which suggests to me that the -n switch in this case does not actually reset the .ini chain.
> This came to light when I noticed that any admin users I added in my system CouchDB also affected any other CouchDB I ran on the same machine. Which seems logical if my analysis of the bug is correct, since the admin users would be stored in /etc/couchdb/local.ini which is always picked up.
