Migrating CouchDB 1.x to 2.x using "couchup" utility

Question

I currently am trying to convert my couchdb 1.6.1 files to couchdb 2.1.1

I am trying to use the "couchup" utility recommended by Apache in there documentation ( http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/install/upgrading.html )

I copied my files from the old directory (E:\CouchDB\var\lib\couchdb) to the new one E:\CoucchBD\data).

When I run "py couchup list" it successfully lists my unconverted couch db files:

When I run "py couchup replicate -a -l -p " it fails

2. after also had add the couchdb login and password – Scott Kim Jan 09 '18 at 21:30 — Scott Kim, Jan 09 '18 at 21:30

There were 2 problems I had fix to get this work

My cluster couchDB was not setup correctly.

a. I forgot to change the -name in vm.args (and they were both nodes named couchDB@localhost . I had rename these to couchDB@

b. required my to uninstall/ reinstall my nodes, proproperly update my vm.args files and reconfigure the cluster
On both nodes, I had comment out my [admins] login and password line my local.ini file and restart the couchDB service. This was because my long password in combination with 64bit encoding was couching the part of couchup utility.

After this I was successfully able to replicate most of my database. I had to trim down When done I re-enable my password
