Run: open server: listen: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:8088: bind: address already in use

grep -r “808[678]” /etc

netstat -lptn | grep influx

I tried , No results, both output blank

That is inconsistent with the following:

**Config file is default
[http]
#bind-address = “.8086” (default, commented)

You say you have a default influxdb.conf file (which should have :8086 in it,
and not .8086, but I’ll assume that’s a typo instead of copy&paste from the
file itself), and that that file contains the string “8086”, and yet you say
that the command:

grep -r “808[678]” /etc

produces nothing.

That either means:

a) you have typed at least one of the commands incorrectly

b) your influxdb.conf file is not under /etc (I expect it to be in /etc/influxdb)

c) the file has changed since you told me it contained:

#bind-address = “.8086” (default, commented)

Finally, if “netstat -lptn | grep influx” produced no output, then either:

a) you did not run it as root as requested, or

b) influxdb was not running at the time (please start it and re-run the netstat
command)
