I am running influxdb on a RHLE 7 machine.
I installed a fresh 0.13.0 version of influxdb.
After I created databases, users and retention policies, I was able to write to
the database from a remote client using the HTTP API successfully.
However, when I enabled HTTPS in the config file, I tried restarting the
service but it failed, giving me errors similar to the following:
● influxdb.service - InfluxDB is an open-source, distributed, time series
database

I managed to get it to start again by using the command influx (and write to
database using HTTPS this is why I doubt this is from HTTPS ) , but it still
causes the service to fail sometimes (when I change something in the config
file and try to restart service again.)
Now, I can't get the service to work again.
This problem has been bugging me for quite sometime now.
Tried some usual obvious commands related to systems, but with no use:
systemctl restart influxdb.service
systemctl stop influxdb.service
systemctl reset-faild influxdb.service
then
systemctl start influxdb.service
and
systemctl disable influxdb.service
NOTHING CHANGES.
This is the result of journalctl -xe in case it's of any use (although looks
similar to the first error):
