General

To get 1.8.9 load, you also need to do the following work now:

  1. Edit the file /etc/systemd/system/influxd.service
  2. Find the line "Type=forking" and comment it out by putting a '#" in front:
    Restart=on-failure
    #Type=forking
    PIDFile=/var/lib/influxdb/influxd.pid
  3. sudo systemctl daemon-reload
  4. Now you should be able to start the database with command: "sudo systemctl start influxdb"
