Hi,
I am able to run the InfluxDB2.0 daemon process “influxd” on a linux box and the port is configured to 8111. I see in the log that the daemon is listening to 8111, but I’m not able to launch “Influx setup” to create a database or any further operations to set up. Please let me know what I’m missing here?
Thanks in advance for ur help.
Rajesh
What error(s) are you getting?
On my environment I just pointed my browser at the ip+port and I got the welcome wizard setup screen and was on my way…
I see the web page saying " This site can’t be reached"
“SYSWDL1832” refused to connect.
But we already have Influx-1.8 running on this box as well, where I can create database and measurements.
I’m not sure if the 2.0 Influxd process is running perfectly fine… below is all I see in its logs. Is this all that is required for daemon process?

When I run > influx setup
the command takes long time and next day I see the below error…
Error: failed to determine if instance has been configured: Get http://localhost:9999/api/v2/setup: EOF
I see it is still trying for port 9999, when I’ve changed it to 8111.
Is there anyway I can change the port for the influx setup please?
Thanks,
Rajesh
Possibly a bug not yet handled if you change the port. Do you have the option of running it using the default port 9999?
Unfortunately no, the 9999 port is being used by another app in our environment which I do not have control on…
But can you please confirm if the daemon process logs are correct and they look as it should? Just want to make sure nothing is missing in the config for daemon…
Can you paste the flags you’re running the daemon with?
What flags are you running the influx client binary with ?
I have set the daemon config to the below config.toml file
query-concurrency = 20
query-queue-size = 15
secret-store = “vault”
session-length = 120
http-bind-address = “127.0.0.1:8111”
reporting-disabled = true
log-level = “info”
The Influx client library is with following command
./influx setup
I thought it will pick up the same config.toml file in the folder?
I’m confused. Are you having problems with influxdb 1.x or the beta 2.0 ? The docs I linked are for 2.0
Edit; I hadn’t noticed those config files existed before, cool!
I think you need to tell the influx client to use a different port. Does this work?
influx -u http://localhost:8111
Did this work for you ?
Hi, thanks for the response… currently I see a problem with running the daemon process. We have influx1.8 running in parallel on the same machine…
when I start the command to bring up the daemon process > ./influxd
The influx2.0 isn’t coming up due to the below error.
ts=2020-08-03T01:52:53.296456Z lvl=error msg=“Failed opening bolt” log_id=0OOWBbTl000 error=“unable to open boltdb; is there a chronograf already running? timeout”
Error: unable to open boltdb; is there a chronograf already running? timeout
Not sure if I can suppress this one with a config…
Should be able to. This is what settled on. Although full disclosure I’m only running v2 instance, but I can’t see why it wouldn’t be possible to do what you’re wanting to
I eventually moved to a different box where port 9999 is available for me to use and set up as per the instructions… everything went smooth.
The daemon process is running fine and I’m able to do influx set up in CLI and able to see the UI from a browser(which is cool).
I am now trying to set up bucket and put in some test data for playing around this…
Thanks a lot for the help with this guys.
On the new box, I’m running both influx v1.8 and v2.0 in parallel, so no issues as far as I’m using the port 9999 for v2.0
U able to solve the error?
I met same error Error: failed to determine if instance has been configured.
My scenario is I use a script to run influxdb2.0 in docker and then call influx setup immediately.
I found the reason of this error is that the service is not ready when calling setup, the service self needs some time to launch before ready to receive traffic.
So I solved it by before calling setup, repeated to check the status of 127.0.0.1:8086/api/v2/setup until it returns a “true”.
I’m using an influx v2 with docker compose and it throws an error Failed opening bolt , unable to open boltdb: timeout. I can use influxdb UI without problem and telegraf but influx CLI has problems.

influxdbv2_telegraf_docker-influxdb_cli-1 | Error: unable to open boltdb: timeout
How can fix this problem? Could I use influxdb with only telegraf without CLI?
Thanks in advance
@dhinojosac the Failed opening bolt , unable to open boltdb: timeout is usually because the bolt file is already opened by another process.
In the linked docker compose file, it has two influxdb containers being created and both mounting the data directory. This would cause the second container to fail to open the bolt file and generate that error.
@Anaisdg I’m not 100% clear on the need to have two influxdb containers in the compose file - since the linked file is in your github, I’m assuming you are familiar with it 
. The the container with the DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_MODE=setup should start up influxdb and do the initial configuration on first launch, and then on subsequent launches it will see that the instance is already set up and not do it again - you shouldn’t need a separate container to do the setup. Maybe I’m missing something though!
Hello @wbaker,
I don’t remember exactly to be completely honest, but I believe it was because I can create the influxdb container and the telegraf container simultaneously. There were problems with a lag in the containers running and authentication and cert issues because of timing. I remember I needed a second one, the influxdb-cli, to get setup first and then configure the influxdb container first. The telegraf container depends on the influxdb-cli container when depends on the influxdb one. To ensure that a each step, running the container and setting up influxdb happens successfully before setting up and running telegraf.
