Data interface for querying is not available anymore in 0.8.5

[bbinet]

I've just upgraded InfluxDB from 0.8.2 to 0.8.5, and when I enter InfluxDB administration ui on port 8083, there is no item available in the "Interfaces" menu, so I cannot access the data interface to run my InfluxDB queries.
In InfluxDB v0.8.2, I could go to the InfluxDB query data interface by selecting "Default" in the "Interfaces" menu.

I tried to investigate this issue with the firefox developer tools, and when I log in, the "/interfaces" url is requested but returns error 400 "Bad request", as you can see in the following screenshot:

If I try to open this "/interfaces" url in a new tab, I get: "open interfaces: no such file or directory"

@bbinet Thanks for reporting this. It looks like the API endpoint was deprecated unintentionally before we'd fixed the UI to match. I'll try to get this resolved in a release later today.

I encountered with the same problem with a clean install.

@toddboom is there a temp fix or patch which could be applied ?

[JulienChampseix]

@toddboom is it released or fixed ? (You closed this issue) How to patch 0.8.5 version?

@JulienChampseix using 0.8.8 wondering if I am not having the same issue? I cannot access the web interface from a remote server or any other influx ports remotely? trying to push graphite data into port 2003, no luck. The web interface works great locally but all off the ports for influxdb seem closed to remote connection requests? I wrote some testing code to try and connect to server ports. Port 80 is open however none of the ports are open for influx. Sorry if I should of posted to another thread.

@mkarquette that sounds like an issue with your setup. Make sure you have the ports open.

Paul I think you are correct I a missing a concept here about influxdb.
all of the other ports appear open as iptables off etc.
also here is a little test script I ran from another server to check.

def checkPort (hostIn, portIn):
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
result = sock.connect_ex((hostIn,portIn))
if result == 0:
print "Port is open"
else:
print "Port is not open"

checkPort("172.16.200.145", 8083)
checkPort("172.16.200.145", 8086)
checkPort("172.16.200.145", 80)
checkPort("172.16.200.145", 443)
output is
Port is not open
Port is not open
Port is open
Port is open

Process finished with exit code 0

here is info from config.toml
bind-address = "172.16.200.145"
[admin]
port = 8083
[api]

port = 8086

note if I shutdown influx. with
server influxdb stop
then
I run a test server I wrote on the same server as influxdb using the same ports the ports accept connections fine.

so it must be something I am missing in the config.toml setup? Note -- I had to config the etc/hosts and hostname on this server so this server doesn't show up in dns. Also the host name will have a local domain ext.

also I should get into the support group and stop posting to this thread as well!!!
