I was trying to connect R with InfluxDB and had trouble getting my result. I used influxdb_query(host, port, username, password, dbname,query) as in https://github.com/influxdb/influxdb-r/blob/master/R/influxdb.R and got this error:
Influx query failed with HTTP status code 404.
Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks in advance.

The R library was written to work with prior versions of InfluxDB (likely the 0.7.x family). If you are running InfluxDB 0.9.x it will not be compatible. There are breaking changes to the query language between the versions.
The R library looks fairly abandoned at this point, with no updates for nearly a year. I do not know when it will be updated to work with InfluxDB 0.9.
