influxdb failed to install
#1
Hi all,
sorry if this has already been discussed.
I have been trying to get influxdb to install for a couple of days and have reached a dead end.  
The install failed the first time, and now when I uninstall and reinstall its loading from a cache.  

It shows as installed in apps, but dead in processes and cant be restarted. 
Kapacitor and chronograf appear to be running ok. 

Is there something I can do to force SignalK to download fresh?  Would this help?  

Any help would be amazing.
cheers
Logan

Hi,
I do have the same problem, I've already installed in an old installation and it works perfectly.
Now I'm trying to install in a new one with SSD drive connect to USB and it doesn't work.
I tought it was the new bootloader, that allow to boot direct from USB SSD Drive, but I tryed on a new PI4 out of the box and the problem is always the same.
Always dead processes

Any ideas?
Thanks
Max

So,
I start with a new installation from scratch.
Run the update of everithing.
Enter in SignalK to be sure it works
Install from Dashboard Influxdb
Now it works, even on the external SSD drive with new bootloader

So probably is just a sequence of software installation.

Thanks for that, was hoping not to have to do a fresh install as have a number of ESP's and AIS hooked up and working...  but may be the only solution.

Remember signalk has a backup/restore menu.

Hello,i had some influxd startup problems after installing an beta kernel.

it refuses to work with exec error. 

have an look if the influx data folder has his writable -w flags correct for the USER influxdb. 
in my case, after setting the correct accessrights the server runs again - with 2 day hole in the data, in my case :-

good luck


ls -al /var/lib/influxdb/ 

test start server with user influxdb:
sudo -u influxdb systemctl status influxdb.service

Today I still have problem, influxdb dead again after a reboot.
I digged in influxdb forum and I found that we are not the only one.
here the post: https://community.influxdata.com/t/influ...tart/20965

They found a temporary workaround because also on the new version 1.8.9, still not working.

here in short:
modify the file: influxdb.service
Code:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/influxdb.service
remove or comment the line:
Type=forking
exit and save.
then change permission to the file: influxd-systemd-start.sh
Code:
sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/influxdb/scripts/influxd-systemd-start.sh

run the service with command:
Code:
sudo systemctl start influxdb

For me it works.
Cheers
