Configuration issue with influxdb - config file parsed but ignored

InfluxDB 2
1

Hi InfluxDB users,

i face some nasty issue with my attempts to bring up influxDB on my arch Linux machine.

I created a new config

ls /etc/influxdb/config.toml -la -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 604 Jan 17 10:59 /etc/influxdb/config.toml

looking like this:

#blblalala

#[admin]
#  enabled = true
#  bind-address = ":8083"
#  https-enabled = false
#  #https-certificate = "/etc/ssl/influxdb.pem"

###
### [http]
###
### Controls how the HTTP endpoints are configured. These are the primary
### mechanism for getting data into and out of InfluxDB.
###

[http]
enabled = true
bind-address = "0.0.0.0:8087"
auth-enabled = false
log-enabled = true
write-tracing = false
pprof-enabled = false
https-enabled = false
#https-certificate = "/etc/ssl/influxdb.pem"
### Use a separate private key location.
# https-private-key = ""
max-row-limit = 10000
realm = "InfluxDB"

Just for a test of the config i set the bind to 0.0.0.0:8087

I set the env like this:

INFLUD_CONFIG_PATH=/etc/influxdb
HOME=/root
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
TERM=xterm-256color
USER=root
INFLUXD_CONFIG_PATH=/etc/influxdb
SHLVL=1
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/flutter/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:/var/lib/snapd/snap/bin
SUDO_UID=1004
MAIL=/var/mail/root
INFLUXDB_CONFIG_PATH=/etc/influxdb

while starting the “influxd print-config | grep bind” from /etc/influxdb directory

ls /etc/influxdb
config.toml

influxd returns:

influxd print-config | grep bind
http-bind-address: :8086

so it looks like my config file is ignored due to some reason.
But when i add some errors to the config like
blblalala
I notice the config is parsed and checked by influxd sucessfully

influxd print-config | grep bind
failed to load config file: While parsing config: (2, 1): unexpected token

What i don’t understand - if the config is parsed why is ignoring my setting e.g. setting the bind to 0.0.0.0:8087
Same issues i see when running the service via service file

Can you guys plz help me debug this strange behavior?
