Influx Database error when writing to history file

Question

I am using influxDB. when I run a command e.g. SHOW measurements from influx CLI I get the following Error: there was an error writing history file : open : The system file cannot find the file specified.

How can I resolve this?

Answer 1

For windows:

1) Create the influx.bat file as below:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET HOME=%~dp0
"%~dp0\influx.exe" %*
ENDLOCAL

2) save it in the same directory as influxdb executable files. See screenshot
