Hi
I’ve been stuck on this section for a week now, I cannot get my raspberryPi to accept the commands I am inputting.
 
On page 241, it asks me to put in the command
 
influx config create –config-name influx-config –host-url http://YOUR_RASPBERRY_PI_IP_ADDRESS:8086 –org <your-org> — token <your-auth-token> –active
 
I copy pasted my details but it seems to not accept my organisation name. The command looks like this:
 
influx config create –config-name influx-config –host-url http://[my RPi IP address]:8086 –org [My organisation name] — token [Copied from my API list on InfluxDB dashboard] –active
 
I don’t really want to reveal what [My organisation name] is online, so I will describe it’s format and how it relates to the error code. My organisation name is 4 words separated by a space, the first word is The, so it looks like “The Word[2] Word[3] Word[4]”.
 
This gives me the following error code;
 
Error: unknown command “Word[2]” for “create”
 
It seems to me that it only wants a single unbroken string of characters for my org name. I tried to remove the spaces “TheWord[2]Word[3]Word[4]”, and separating the words by hyphens “The-Word[2]-Word[3]-Word[4]”, which it accepts for the config file, but later in the section, it tells me it doesn’t recognise the organisation name. The console simply states;
 
Error: failed to lookup org with name “TheWord[2]Word[3]Word[4]”
 
My InfluxDB username is the 1st and 2nd word only (TheWord[2]), is this what it wants me to input? The tutorial asks specifically for the organisation name so I don’t think it want’s the username.
