Replicate database from couch 0.11.0 to 1.6.0

[krishnakode]

Hi,

I'm new to couchdb and am trying to move a database from older couch db instance on 0.11.0 to a new instance on 1.6.0. I tried using replication functionality on futon but see the below exception in the logs.

[error] [emulator] Error in process <0.13715.258> with exit value:
{{badmatch,{"text/plain",[{"charset","utf-8"}]}},
[{couch_httpd,get_boundary,1,[{file,"couch_httpd.erl"},{line,1004}]},
{couch_httpd,parse_multipart_request,3,
[{file,"couch_httpd.erl"},{line,983}]},
{couch_replicator_api_wrap,'-open_doc_revs/6-fun-1-',4,
[{file,"src/couch_replicator_api_wrap.erl"},
{line,180}]},
{couch_replicator_httpc,process_stream_response,5,
[{file,"src/couch_replicator_httpc.erl"},
{line,111}]}]}

What does this error mean? What is the best way to move the database to 1.6.0 version?

• Version used: 0.11.0 to 1.6.0
• Browser Name and version: Chrome Version 66.0.3359.117
• Operating System and version: Linux 2.6.32 to Linux 4.4.0

Hi @krishnakode , goodness, that is an old version of CouchDB. You may get more help if you ask on our user mailing list (user@couchdb.apache.org) than here. You will need to subscribe to the list to be able to post.

Where are you starting the replication from - the 1.6.0 CouchDB or the 0.11.0 CouchDB? What happens if you start the replication from the other server?

Note that CouchDB 1.6.0 has serious security holes - we strongly encourage you to upgrade to CouchDB 1.7.1 or 2.1.1 instead.

you may have to go via 1.1.x or 1.2.x, always run replication on the highest version number.

Closing this issues because there won‘t be any more CouchDB 1.x releases. If you experience this issue on current 2.x releases, please re-open it with additional information.
