[influxdb] Chronograf not fully operational

[h***@gmail.com]

I loaded Chronograf version 1.4.0-0 on my Raspberry Pi3 to create InfluxDB databases. The InfluxDB Admin page never loads, is just shows a spinning circle. Also, there is a pop-up that states: "Source Influx 1 is no longer available. Successfully connected to another source." I cannot delete that window.

CREATE DATABASE mydb

ERR: unable to parse authentication credentials
Warning: It is possible this error is due to not setting a database.
Please set a database with the command "use <database>".

use mydb

I receive


ERR: unable to parse authentication credentials

Ultimately I am interested in using Node Red to port sensor values to an Influx database using the influx nodes.

I figured it out. I had to load the influx session with username and
password.

I'm not sure if is a authentication issue or not. In the rpi terminal I
can start the influx service but when I try CREATE DATABASE mydb I get the
