  <p>First I thought maybe it was because my influx.conf file had an outdated token, so I updated it:</p>
  <pre><code>[default]
    url = &quot;http://localhost:8086&quot;
    token = &quot;my updated token==&quot;
    org = &quot;My company name&quot;
    active = true
  </code></pre>
  <p>I tried <code>influxd</code> again, but I got the same result.</p>
  <p>I ran from an Admin DOS shell.</p>
  <p>The db is running, because I can log into the website, but it seems I cannot get to my bucket:</p>
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/tEOMT.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/tEOMT.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
  <p>Here are my two tokens:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/UHSOX.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/UHSOX.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
  <p>&quot;Load Tester's Token&quot; has read/write for everything, exactly as I created it.<br />
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/7XLWU.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/7XLWU.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
  <p>It was this token I put into my <code>influx.conf</code> file.  (It changed, for some reason.)</p>
  <p>My <code>load_bucket</code> retention is now 1 year.  I tried changing it to forever, but even if I save my changes, it stays 1 year.</p>
  <p>I also tried creating a new bucket and writing to it from a script, but the script fails to connect.</p>
