Troubleshooting

Sync Gateway is alpha software, which means the developers are hungy for feedback about it. If you run into any roadblocks, please let us know by filing an issue on one of our projects or via the mailing list. What seems insignificant to you may be hitting everyone but the core developers, so until you let us know, we can't fix it.

In general, the curl tool is your friend. (Or try httpie, an improved curl-like tool I highly recommend.) You can inspect databases and documents pretty easily using the regular CouchDB REST API, and look at user and role access privileges using the gateway's admin-port API.

An additional useful tool is the admin-port URL "/databasename/_dump/channels", which returns an HTML table listing all the active channels and which documents are assigned to them. Similarly, "/databasename/_dump/access" shows which documents are granting access to which users/channels.

If you're having trouble, feel free to ask for help on the mailing list. If you're pretty sure you've found a bug, please file a bug report.
