Required Information
- DietPi version | 9.8.0
- Distro version | bookworm 0

- Architecture | arm64
- SBC model | RPi Zero 2 W (aarch64)
- Power supply used | 5V 1A RAVpower
- SD card used | SanDisk ultra
Additional Information (if applicable)
- Software title | influxdb
- Was the software title installed freshly or updated/migrated? updated
- Can this issue be replicated on a fresh installation of DietPi?
Steps to reproduce
update dietpi to 9.8.0, influxdb.servivce fails to start
Expected behaviour
influxdb service should start smoothly
Actual behavior
systemctl start influxdb gives:
Job for influxdb.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
systemctl status influxdb gives:
ExecStart=/usr/share/influxdb/scripts/influxd-systemd-start.sh (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)-
However, executing as root /usr/share/influxdb/scripts/influxd-systemd-start.sh works as expected!
Extra details
In some log I think I saw something like /usr/share/bin/pkttyagent file not found. But not sure where
Sure:
> journalctl -r -n 200 -u influxdb

The service seems to be started under influxdb, so I tried to change permissions for /var/lib/influxdb like so:
> chgrp -R influxdb influxdb
> chmod -R g+w influxdb
But that didnt change the error message.
probably you would need to check the whole chain
Can you check following
ls -la /var/lib
Usually folder influxdb should be linked to /mnt/dietpi_userdata/influxdb. And within /mnt/dietpi_userdata/influxdb all files and folder should belong to user & group influxdb
AAAHhh and now I remember Influxdb not working after update - #6 by Joulinar
Thats why a forum search could help sometimes
yep, that was it! thanks, despite some minor hiccup ensuring that all influxdb processes were stopped, and pid file removed. But now it starts smoothly again.
Thanks for the quick help!
