I am trying to install InfluxDB 1.1.0 on an Ubuntu 16.04 EC2 instance on AWS.
Downloaded the DEB: wget https://dl.influxdata.com/influxdb/releases/influxdb_1.1.0_amd64.deb launched: sudo dpkg -i influxdb_1.1.0_amd64.deb and the output was: Selecting previously unselected package influxdb. (Reading database ... 53668 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack influxdb_1.1.0_amd64.deb ... Unpacking influxdb (1.1.0-1) ... Setting up influxdb (1.1.0-1) ... Installing new version of config file /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf ... Synchronizing state of influxdb.service with SysV init with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install...

Errors were encountered while processing: influxdb After a reboot, if I do: sudo service influxdb status the answer is: ● influxdb.service - InfluxDB is an open-source, distributed, time series database Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/influxdb.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2016-11-29 16:32:54 UTC; 8s ago Docs: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/ Process: 1224 ExecStart=/usr/bin/influxd -config /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf ${INFLUXD_OPTS} (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 1224 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Nov 29 16:32:54 ip-10-142-200-222 systemd[1]: influxdb.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Nov 29 16:32:54 ip-10-142-200-222 systemd[1]: influxdb.service: Unit entered failed state.

I finally understood that "InfluxDB is an open-source, distributed, time series database". But what am I doing wrong? Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you.
