Question:

When I am trying to access admin console using http://localhost:8083, getting Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost:8083.

Look for ..\influxdb-versiona.b.c.d\influxdb.conf file to enable Admin

It is in HOCON format Look for [admin] section. and uncomment it 

from # [admin] to admin

By default, it will be commented "#" is used to comment in HOCON format. Uncomment the binding address and enabled = false

Change the enabled from false to true.

Run the following command

influxd -config influxdb.conf

Acces the Admin interface by using the http://localhost:8083/ url.

[httpd] 2016/11/15 14:52:22 Listening on HTTP: [::]:8086

You should be using http://localhost:8086 URL, I have no idea where did you get this 8083 from.

You might find Taurus tool easier for use, apart from real-time results analysis it provides powerful Fass/Fail Criteria subsystem, Resource Monitoring and much more

    Thanks Dmitri for suggesting the better tool, exploring the same now. 8083 is the port used to access Admin Console from Web UI. From influxdb1.1 onwards, Admin Console is deprecated. and 8086 port is used for HTTP API access as you mentioned. – Naveen Kumar R B Nov 15 '16 at 10:25

Update 2020 - InfluxDB is NOT recommended on windows

After going through countless of articles, it is generally NOT recommended to install InfluxDB directly on Windows. There are many issues. In terms of performance and stability. Official InfluxDB too does not support windows and has no plans for it in the future. This is further proven as the latest InfluxDB 2.0 does not include any windows binaries.

InfluxDB 2.0 does not include windows binaries

so?

Work Around? => DOCKERS for WINDOWS, Try it, it's easy and free

Dockers are free. If you intend to install docker on Windows Server, it's also free for Windows Server 2016 and above (Microsoft made a special deal with docker to provide them for free)

For those who are still in the VM world:

Dockers are NOT like Virtual Machines. It interacts directly with the host's file system via a windows service
