Let’s go back and run a command we did some while ago, to see whether the
result is still the same.

As root:

grep -r “808[678]” /etc

Also as root:

netstat -lptn | grep influx

Antony.

22

I tried , No results, both output blank

grep -r “808[678]” /etc

netstat -lptn | grep influx

Also Checked

$sudo netstat -lptn

No listen port on influx

23

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)

Antony.

I follow your points step by step.

This seems like a strange way of starting influxd to me. You are running this
on Raspbian Stretch.

Previously you have been using the command “$ sudo systemctl start influxdb”
which looks far more standard to me.

If you start the service like that, does it still produce all these errors?

You need to find out why influxd is complaining that much when you start it
before it makes any sense to go further.

That output is beyond my expertise to diagnose, so:

a) please start influxd with the normal command:

$ sudo systemctl start influxdb

b) if that doesn’t work and you still get the same errors, I hope someone with
more understanding of what those errors mean can help you.

Regards,

Antony.

Thanks for your support and sparing time with me. I will try find a better solution.

I think the RPC service (backup restore) may be running, and blocked the normal operation. In previous days it working perfectly, when power & internet connection failed after it will not working.

We should find the solution.

“In previous days it working perfectly, when power & internet connection
failed after it will not working.”

I think it would have been very helpful for everyone involved if you had said
that from the start.

Can u advice what’s possible wrong in my configuration

I am building up an installation on a Raspberry Pi 3 that I had laying around.
I just had exactly the same issue.
Actually, according to

sudo netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN

influxdb was already using the port … very strange.

My solution was to remove the installation of influxDB that was there.

sudo apt-get purge influxdb

After this I installed InfluxDB v2.6 based on the instructions here: Install InfluxDB | InfluxDB OSS 2.6 Documentation
No special / additional config was needed.

After this, it just worked without any issue.
Hope this helps others as well.
