influxdb: InfluxDB 1.5.0 not listening to http after starting the process

Bug report

System info: InfluxDB 1.5.0, Ubuntu 16.04.4 (tested with the same data in ArchLinux also)

Steps to reproduce:

Start InfluxDB service
Try to connect to the http service or check bound ports (8086)

Expected behavior: 8086 port listening

Actual behavior: No open port, no http service

Additional info: systemd log:

The process is running, but no connections are accepted. The configuration file is the default one.

It was running correctly (for around 2 months) until yesterday.

Only deleting the “data” folder I can get it to start running again correctly.

Having exactly the same issue after upgrading to 1.5 on Ubuntu 16.04 (AWS) from a previous version - I did the second upgrade to 1.5.1 today morning but the results are the same. The config file is also the same for all installation. Influx does not bind to the HTTP port, started to eat 50G memory and does a big load on the machine.

I ran into this exact same issue, with starting “hanging” after “Open store (start)”. The problem ended up being that I naively ran the ‘influxd_inspect buildtsi’ command as root, and not as the influxdb user. This resulted in the new ts1 index files being owned as root. Although they were readable, they were not writeable.

YMMV, but recursively chowning my data directory resolved this for me and allowed InfluxDB 1.5.0 to start.
