Improvement Minor Resolved Fixed Public MC Brown Tug Grall Thu, 13 Dec 2012 08:22:42 -0600 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 08:53:13 -0600 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 08:53:13 -0600 2.0 documentation 0 0 This is coming from <a href="http://www.couchbase.com/forums/thread/could-not-install-couchbase-2-0-release-after-uninstalling-1-8">http://www.couchbase.com/forums/thread/could-not-install-couchbase-2-0-release-after-uninstalling-1-8</a> We already have instructions for fully removing and uninstalling Couchbase from your machine: <br/> <br/> <a href="http://www.couchbase.com/docs/couchbase-manual-2.0/couchbase-uninstalling.html">http://www.couchbase.com/docs/couchbase-manual-2.0/couchbase-uninstalling.html</a> <br/> <br/> Since deleting 1.8 and installing 2.0 is not really an upgrade, I&#39;m not sure putting this information into the upgrade instructions is the right place for it. Do you think we can add a small paragraph like the following one in the installation section: <br/> {quote} <br/> Note: <br/> If you are installing the product on a machine on which a previous/older version of Couchbase has beed installed you should either do: <br/> * an upgrade -&gt; pointer to the upgrade <br/> * uninstall the current version before installing the new one -&gt; pointer to uninstall <br/> {quote} <br/> Done. Rebuilding now. Date of First Response Thu, 13 Dec 2012 08:27:19 -0600 Rank 3490 Time In Status
