Uninstall Influxdb #4101

Closed willemdh closed 8 years ago

willemdh commented 9 years ago

Yesterday I installed InfluxDB 0.9.3 on a CentOS 7.1, but as I decided to use 0.9.4, I decided to uninstall 0.9.3. I used this command to install: sudo yum localinstall influxdb-0.9.3-1.x86_64.rpm And this command to uninstall: sudo yum remove influxdb

The uninstall was 'successfully' but after uninstalling the web interface was still available and when I try to locate influxdb, I still find files related to the InfluxDB install: locate infl /etc/opt/influxdb /etc/opt/influxdb/influxdb.conf /etc/rc.d/init.d/influxdb /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K50influxdb /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K50influxdb /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S50influxdb /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S50influxdb /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S50influxdb /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S50influxdb /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K50influxdb /opt/influxdb /opt/influxdb/influx /opt/influxdb/influxd /opt/influxdb/init.sh /opt/influxdb/versions /opt/influxdb/versions/0.9.3 /opt/influxdb/versions/0.9.3/influx /opt/influxdb/versions/0.9.3/influxd /opt/influxdb/versions/0.9.3/scripts /opt/influxdb/versions/0.9.3/scripts/init.sh /var/log/influxdb /var/log/influxdb/influxd.log /var/opt/influxdb /var/opt/influxdb/data /var/opt/influxdb/hh /var/opt/influxdb/meta /var/opt/influxdb/meta/id /var/opt/influxdb/meta/peers.json /var/opt/influxdb/meta/raft.db /var/opt/influxdb/meta/snapshots

Is this normal behaviour? Are there somewhere upgrade instructions for upgrading from 0.9.x to 0.9.y?

Thanks for any info on this topic.

Hmmm I re-installed the server and InfluxDB 0.9.4 and it seems the web interface is still showing 0.9.3. A locate on the server now does show different files (0.9.4)

locate influxdb /etc/opt/influxdb /etc/opt/influxdb/influxdb.conf /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/influxdb.service /opt/influxdb /opt/influxdb/influx /opt/influxdb/influxd /opt/influxdb/init.sh /opt/influxdb/versions /opt/influxdb/versions/0.9.4-rc1 /opt/influxdb/versions/0.9.4-rc1/influx /opt/influxdb/versions/0.9.4-rc1/influxd /opt/influxdb/versions/0.9.4-rc1/scripts /opt/influxdb/versions/0.9.4-rc1/scripts/influxdb.service /opt/influxdb/versions/0.9.4-rc1/scripts/init.sh /usr/lib/systemd/system/influxdb.service /var/log/influxdb /var/opt/influxdb /var/opt/influxdb/data /var/opt/influxdb/hh /var/opt/influxdb/meta /var/opt/influxdb/wal /var/opt/influxdb/data/_internal /var/opt/influxdb/data/_internal/monitor /var/opt/influxdb/data/_internal/monitor/1 /var/opt/influxdb/meta/id /var/opt/influxdb/meta/peers.json /var/opt/influxdb/meta/raft.db /var/opt/influxdb/meta/snapshots /var/opt/influxdb/wal/_internal /var/opt/influxdb/wal/_internal/monitor /var/opt/influxdb/wal/_internal/monitor/1 /var/opt/influxdb/wal/_internal/monitor/1/000000.meta

Hi @willemdh,

Thanks for finding this. It looks like the version number is hardcoded in the admin UI. Working on updating that now.

All the files were updated correctly - if you open the CLI or ping your server you should see version 0.9.4.

willemdh commented 9 years ago

No problem Rkuchan, Thanks for the fast answer. So what about upgrading? I did not found any documentation on how to do this 'officially'. I used this to install 0.9.4 on CentOS 7. wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/influxdb/influxdb-0.9.4_rc1-1.x86_64.rpm sudo rpm -ivh influxdb-0.9.4_rc1-1.x86_64.rpm

How would I best update to further versions and avoid the issues I had when I tried upgrading from 0.9.3 to 0.9.4?

beckettsean commented 9 years ago

@willemdh what you describe is the current upgrade path. All 0.9 InfluxDB builds are drop-in replacements for previous builds. Some functionality might be unavailable until the config file is updated but the binary should launch without issue.

after uninstalling the web interface was still available

You also need to stop the service, not just uninstall the files. I do not know if yum handles this for you, but it would appear not.

avoid the issues I had when I tried upgrading from 0.9.3 to 0.9.4?

Other than the version string mismatch I don't see what issues you describe.

Ok, thanks all. Closing this.

@rkuchan @beckettsean I update today from 0.9.4 to 0.9.5.1-1 and just noticed that the version in the webGUI is still 0.9.3 When I type 

influx version
Visit https://enterprise.influxdata.com to register for updates, InfluxDB server management, and monitoring.
Connected to http://localhost:8086 version 0.9.4-rc1
InfluxDB shell 0.9.5.1

It's kind of confusing and chaotic to see three different version numbers. Is this normal? Or something went wrong during upgrade?

willemdh commented 8 years ago

Sorry must have been cached. I see the correct version now in the gui. Closing.
