A somewhat old post but for anyone stuck on this, it seems that the npmjs couchapp (the thing that works for /registry/_design/app/...) has a validate_doc_update function to user-control 'npm login' and 'npm publish' operations. But it also effects the replication, simply the function does not let replication user to write to the database. For couchdb 1.3. the _replicator database also accepts a user_ctx parameter that the replication process will use. So instead of using the old style _replicate command, couchdb 1.3 users should do something like:
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5984/_replicator -d '{"_id": "npmjs_repl", "source":"http://isaacs.iriscouch.com/registry/";, "target":"registry", "continuous":true, "user_ctx": {"name":"replicator", "roles":["_admin"]}}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" This will run the replication as an admin user (roles: _admin) and validate_doc_update function will allow writes. My replication seems to continue now On Tuesday, May 14, 2013 6:16:51 AM UTC+3, andy wrote: > > Based on the awesome feedback I got from > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/nodejs/sX4mbsRPwls/WtDDE-To2o4J, we tried > replicating the npm repo so we could use it in an offline environment. > > We're essentially following the instructions at > http://clock.co.uk/tech-blogs/how-to-create-a-private-npmjs-repositorybut > replication fails after syncing about 17k documents. > > We've tried reinstalling couch (found one issue that suggested using a > patched version of SpiderMonkey) but the same thing keeps happening, even > after restarting replication several times. > > Here's our setup: > > CentOS 6.4 > CouchDB 1.3 > SpiderMonkey 1.8.5-7 > > Replication works fine for over 17,000 documents, then we see this error > and can't get past it: > > [Sat, 11 May 2013 00:55:39 GMT] [error] [<0.12970.4>] Replicator: couldn't > write document `bufferhelper`, revision > `19-d339684ee7f5eaf4cc18d84da753832d`, to target database `registry`. > Error: `unauthorized`, reason: `Please log in before writing to the db`. > > Any ideas? > > Thanks, > > Andy > -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
