couchdb missing file

curl localhost:5984/_users/org.couchdb.user:tyler
{"error":"not_found","reason":"missi开发者_运维百科ng"}

I am logged into futon as tyler, so i know that user exists.

Anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

This will happen if you create a server admin via the local.ini configuration file. No _users document is created in that case, but you can still log in via futon.
