===> COMPATIBILITY NOTE: 1.2.0 removed support for the old 0.9 database format. More info: * http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Breaking_changes?action=show&redirect=BreakingChanges ===> CONFIGURATION NOTES: PERFORMANCE For best response (minimal delay) most sites will wish to uncomment this line from %%PREFIX%%/etc/couchdb/local.ini: socket_options = [{recbuf, 262144}, {sndbuf, 262144}, {nodelay, true}] Otherwise you'll see a large delay when establishing connections to the DB. ADMIN ACCOUNT By default no admin password or account is configured which leaves the DB server open. Add accounts to the bottom of %%PREFIX%%/etc/couchdb/local.ini to secure your installation (by default CouchDB listens on localhost only). DATABASE LOCATION The DB files themselves are now stored in /var/db/couchdb by default. Previous versions of this port defaulted to /var/lib/couchdb, and if you installed directly from source /usr/local/lib/couchdb. If you are upgrading you may need to move your DB files to /var/db/couchdb if you are not specifying database_dir and view_index_dir locations in local.ini.
