The sudo service influxdb status command output indicates that the InfluxDB service is active and running, which is exactly what you want to see after installation and starting the service. What is the is problem exactly? I’m misunderstanding something.
I use influxd to start the service.
You can visit localhost:8086 to access the UI and create your account and finish setup.

Hey, I want to enter the webinterface of influxdb. But this is exactly the thing what is not working. If I try to enter the webinterface with ServerIp:8086 I get the Message “404 page not found”.
