If I try to run influxdb daemon with command: systemctl start influxdb it fails: # systemctl status influxdb ● influxdb.service - InfluxDB is an open-source, distributed, time series database Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/influxdb.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2019-06-07 12:21:27 CEST; 7s ago Docs: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/ Process: 4664 ExecStart=/usr/bin/influxd -config /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf $INFLUXD_OPTS (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 4664 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) čen 07 12:21:27 aramaki systemd[1]: influxdb.service: Service RestartSec=100ms expired, scheduling restart. čen 07 12:21:27 aramaki systemd[1]: influxdb.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 5. čen 07 12:21:27 aramaki systemd[1]: Stopped InfluxDB is an open-source, distributed, time series database. čen 07 12:21:27 aramaki systemd[1]: influxdb.service: Start request repeated too quickly. čen 07 12:21:27 aramaki systemd[1]: influxdb.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. čen 07 12:21:27 aramaki systemd[1]: Failed to start InfluxDB is an open-source, distributed, time series database. I think the configuration file (-config /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf in the ExecStart line) is incorrect. After build the /etc/influxdb/influxd.conf exist, not /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf. If I start it with correct configuration file the database runs.
Thshould be fixed in 1.8.2.
