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!
