I am unable to start Influxdb server

I am unable to start InfluxDB server. InfluxDB server abruptly closes or fluctuates without fully starting.

While trying to start with Windows PowerShell it is showing the below error:

2023-06-25T13:51:17.278591Z info InfluxDB starting {"log_id": "0idi0X6l000", "version": "1.8.10", "branch": "1.8", "commit": "688e697c51fd"} 2023-06-25T13:51:17.278591Z info Go runtime {"log_id": "0idi0X6l000", "version": "go1.13.8", "maxprocs": 8} run: open server: listen: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:8088: bind: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. PS D:\InfluxData\influxdb-1.8.10-1>

Solution

  • It means that port 8088 is busy and InfluxDB cannot use it hence it fails.

    It might be the case InfluxDB is running already so check if this is the case.

    If it's not you can:

    1. Check which process is holding port 8088 using netstat command
    2. Configure InfluxDB to use the different port
