Comment 6 for bug 451809

I think the cause of this was fixed two weeks ago. I expect that the only people who will experience this problem are people who had v0.4.2 of desktopcouch installed and ran the desktopcouch-pair tool and changed the number of peer pairings.

That would read in the desktopcouch INI file, change the server bind-address, and write out the config file again. During that update, the Python ConfigParser class would crush keys to lowercase, including OAuth token values.

  Do not let Python's ConfigParser transform options into lowercase, as
  couchdb options are case-sensitive.

The easy work-around for this bug is to remove the INI file and let it be created again when desktopcouch starts.

Without rebooting:
$ killall desktopcouch-service
$ /usr/lib/desktopcouch/desktopcouch-stop
$ mv ~/.config/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.ini{,-broken-by-lpbug451809 }

I'm going to close this bug, with the assumption that it happens only to a small fraction of beta users, and that that workaround fixes it. Please re-open it if there are any exceptions to those assumptions.
