Sorry for the delay
I expect this config file to give you an error if used, in fact in toml some chars must be escaped (ie: “\”)
Wrong
[meta]
# Where the metadata/raft database is stored
dir = "C:\Program Files\influxdb\meta"
Correct (double quotes and escaped “\”)
[meta]
# Where the metadata/raft database is stored
dir = "C:\\Program Files\\influxdb\\meta"
Correct (single quotes, no escape needed)
[meta]
# Where the metadata/raft database is stored
dir = 'C:\Program Files\influxdb\meta'
About the configuration not being used, you have to specify it as a parameter of the executable
influxd.exe -config "__PathToConfig.conf__"
note that if you run influxdb as a service using nssm the path to the configuration file must be the absolute path
