I’m running on a Raspberry PI, 4.b buster. I’ve found some installation instructions for 1.8.1. None of the installations provide an influxdb.conf. So I cobbled one together and modified it as best I can. At least influxdb starts. But I can’t get to 10.0.0.222:8086 despite the fact that the port is listening. systemctl start and enable work and output from systemctl status is good. However the .conf didn’t include any admin authorizations blocks But I can’t connect to my installation via 10.0.0.222:8086. I got a 404 error. port 8086 is listening. I’ve also install grafana it works fine. Except when I try to add a datasource for Influxdb I get a server error. Not a surprise considering the 404. So any help with the 404 error on my server would be greatly appreciated. I also would be happy if I could find an installation guide which includes a .conf along with modification instructions. ---

You just starting out? If so, I’d suggest skipping 1.8 and going straight to influx 2.0. It’s still in beta, but from what I’ve seen progress is pretty good, new releases almost every 2 weeks. What I did: Download latest arm beta Discovered it only came in 64 bit aarch Found that raspian had a native 64 bit kernel, but needed enabling. Did that , rebooted. Then made my own service config > [@Trying to install InfluxDb 2.0 beta on Raspberry Pi 4b w/ 4Gb RAM](https://community.influxdata.com/t/trying-to-install-influxdb-2-0-beta-on-raspberry-pi-4b-w-4gb-ram/13153/9): > > I’m in similar boat- experimenting with a pi4.

What do you get if you run `file influxd` ? Any chance you accidentally downloaded amd instead of arm ? Also, output from `uname -a` ---

I got 2.0 from the influx website. I originally installed the amd64 version. I deleted influx and influxd from /usr/local/bin I then installed the correct version which failed. I confirmed I had arm\_64bit=1 at the end of /boot/config.txt. I rebooted and this is the output from uname pi@masterpi:~ $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 BogoMIPS : 108.00 Features : fp asimd evtstrm crc32 cpuid CPU implementer : 0x41 CPU architecture: 8 CPU variant : 0x0 CPU part : 0xd08 CPU revision : 3 processor : 1 BogoMIPS : 108.00 Features : fp asimd evtstrm crc32 cpuid CPU implementer : 0x41 CPU architecture: 8 CPU variant : 0x0 CPU part : 0xd08 CPU revision : 3 processor : 2 BogoMIPS : 108.00 Features : fp asimd evtstrm crc32 cpuid CPU implementer : 0x41 CPU architecture: 8 CPU variant : 0x0 CPU part : 0xd08 CPU revision : 3 processor : 3 BogoMIPS : 108.00 Features : fp asimd evtstrm crc32 cpuid CPU implementer : 0x41 CPU architecture: 8 CPU variant : 0x0 CPU part : 0xd08 CPU revision : 3 Hardware : BCM2835 Revision : c03111 Serial : 10000000f03bacf4 Model : Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.1
