rpm problems about influxdb HOT 6 CLOSED

Hey @abh, thanks for reporting these issue. I removed the backup file and fixed the package to start influxdb successfully. Regarding your notes about the weirdness of the path, can you elaborate a little more.

Ah – just that the layout you have seems appropriate for "download and unpack a tar ball", but with RPMs the expectation would be that things install in /etc/foo, /usr/bin/foo, /usr/share/foo, etc.

I've just installed using http://s3.amazonaws.com/influxdb/influxdb-latest-1.x86_64.rpm and see this message when I go to start the process:

# /etc/init.d/influxdb start
Starting the process influxdb [ OK ]
/etc/init.d/influxdb: line 97: sudo: command not found
influxdb process was started [ OK ]

Influx is not running afterwards.

My issue is a) influxdb has failed to start yet has indicated status OK b) sudo is clearly a dependency here, yet the RPM did not pull it in on install. The rpm .spec file be updated to include a dependency on sudo

You have to configure it; then start it @porjo. Influxdb does not want the 'auto start on installation' behavior.

@damm huh? Please read my comment again. I've updated it for clarity.

@porjo hmm it should depend on sudo; as you are lacking that. See #692 as Influxdb does not want to start upon installation.

Your main problem now is it looks like your missing the package sudo
