Hi Alex, It sounds like you installed couch over the top of the existing installation? This won't work, a number of libraries will be left with alternative / incompatible versions.
- stop the service & ensure there are no erl, werl, couchjs, or epmd processes running - move or copy your %COUCH%/var/lib/ and %COUCH%/etc/local.ini elsewhere - uninstall couch - make sure %COUCH% is completely gone - reinstall 1.2.1 Usual caveat about having a backup applies.
