I am trying to install via script influxdb3, simple download/quick start on a ubuntu 24 fresh vm. I am getting the following error: Error: InfluxDB failed to start; check permissions or other potential issues.
This error code is unfortunately pretty generic and hard to work with as a starting point to debug from. How are you trying to install and run InfluxDB? If you run influxdb --version, does that return anything? If no, then it’s not installed properly. Does the user you’re trying to run InfluxDB as have necessary file system permissions to access the .influxdb directory that’s created on install?
