How to fix connection error from a local machine to influxdb on the host server

Welcome & Getting Started

Hi all

I’m trying to connect from my local machine to influxdb on the host server using python.
However, I can’t make a connection and get error messages.

This is the code what I tried to connect to.(I’ve changed a http port because another service already used that port)

client = InfluxDBClient(host=‘10.x.x.x’, port=7086, username=‘user of host server’, password=‘p/w of host server’, database=‘test_hd’)
client.ping()

and then, I’ve got a message like below.(sorry for in korean)

TimeoutError Traceback (most recent call last)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I’m not sure whether I can utilize “influxdbClient” or not when connect from local to remote host.
Could you help me to solve this problem?
I appreciate in advance.

Hi @Jhyeon,

Can you try with
curl -sl -I http://yourdatabasehost:7086/ping ?

Best regards

Hi @MarcV

I made a fool mistake of not opened the port “7086”.
I’ve registered to open it, so I’m waiting the process.
Thanks for your kind.
