Ah, so the tarball packages don't have the necessary permissions to run InfluxDB as a service. What distribution of Linux are you running? Can you not use the RPM or DEB packages instead?
If not, you'll need to create the following directories with owner:group as influxdb: - /var/lib/influxdb - /etc/influxdb And you'll want to take the systemd unit file from here <https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/blob/master/scripts/influxdb.service> .
