Hello Community,

i saw some guys have the same probleme, but none of the solutions worked for me.  
It is the second time, that influx doesn´t work:  
_sudo influx_:

> Failed to connect to [http://localhost:8086](http://localhost:8086): Get [http://localhost:8086/ping:](http://localhost:8086/ping:) read tcp 127.0.0.1:43274-\>127.0.0.1:8086: read: connection reset by peer
> 
> Please check your connection settings and ensure ‘influxd’ is running.

Service influxdb and influxd is running.

_influxd_

> 2021-11-27T21:34:35.144510Z info Go runtime {“log\_id”: “0Y4pzbY0000”, “version”: “go1.11.6”, “maxprocs”: 4}  
> run: open server: listen: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:8086: bind: address already in use

I made natstat -lptn and killed the influx process. after running it again, same errors.  
Bind adress in /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf is 127.0.0.01:8086 (tried also “localhost:8086”)

This is the second time this happens, after i updated my raspi system via. apt-get upgrade.  
Last time even “purge influx” and reinstall was not a solution, so i had to setup the wole raspi new.  
I don´t want to do that again.

Any other ideas?

PS: var/log/influxdb is empty

Hello @Gafzgarrr,  
Wow that is odd.  
I have no idea what could be causing it.  
The only real recommendation I have is to wait until OSS v3 comes out and use that instead.

I haven’t heard of this happening before. I don’t know why a raspi update would cause that or why the logs are empty. Is your data still there?
