Hi everyone, I just installed influxdb 1.2.2 on centos 7. the server can lauch influxdb with command influxd but I couldn’t start service influxdb.service .This is the status result:
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status influxd.service

@jackzampolin Thank you.This is the output I got when run journalctl -u influxdb after start the service
May 18 09:00:09 : influxdb.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE

And here is the status when I run influxdb manually with influxd (it seems to be working fine). I can access influx cli but cannot access the web with port 8086 (I have already disabled the firewall)

Hi, I have already fixed the issue
Here is another log I got in /var/log/messages:

Looks like there is something wrong with this
May 17 17:57:27 influxd: run: open server: open tsdb store: open /var/lib/influxdb/data/_internal: permission denied*
I changed the owner of this dir to influxdb and it works fine now.
