I am trying to regain access to my databases stored in CouchDB, but the error This database failed to load. gets shown instead of the databases (see attachments).
- I started seeing all of these errors at once
- It be some user rights misconfiguration (1. The error
This database failed to load.is normal, when lacking privileges, 2. The actions todeleteorreplicatea DB are missing). However, I am logged as admin.
Can you help me find the root cause of the error?

The error was caused by update to CouchDB 2.1.1. It's explained on the CouchDB website that the new version brings breaking changes and a line has to be modified in the config file.
So I had to change this file:
$ sudo vim /opt/couchdb/etc/vm.args
-name couchdb@localhost changed to -name couchdb@127.0.0.1
Don't forget to move the DB shards to the new node and restart CouchDB.
This script is useful for migrating the DB shards to the new node:
#!/bin/bash
curl "http://admin:password@127.0.0.1:5986/_dbs/$1" > $1.json
cat $1.json | sed s/$2/$3/g > $1_edited.json
curl -X PUT "http://admin:password@127.0.0.1:5986/_dbs/$1" -d @$1_edited.json
