| ERROR | <class 'TypeError'> creating plugin 1: string indices must be integers

Hello,
While trying to implement this repo, I ran into this error trying to setup the influxdb database to connect with the AIT GUI for telemetry playback. From following the steps listed here: https://github.com/NASA-AMMOS/AIT-Core/issues/243 I was able to get through the page by diligently following the steps, until trying to execute test step 4 for db.connect(). I ran into this error:
"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/.virtualenvs/ait/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ait/core/db.py", line 262, in connect
if dbname not in [v['name'] for v in self._conn.get_list_database()]:
File "/.virtualenvs/ait/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ait/core/db.py", line 262, in
if dbname not in [v['name'] for v in self._conn.get_list_database()]:
TypeError: string indices must be integers
"

From running the ait-server in a separate terminal, I noticed these similar errors appear as well:
"
| ERROR | Unable to connect to ait.core.db.InfluxDBBackend backend. Disabling data archive.
| ERROR | <class 'TypeError'> creating plugin 1: string indices must be integers
"

Here is the contents of the config file, copied identical to the Issue243 post:
"
database:
dbname: ait

server:
    plugins:
       - plugin:
           name: ait.gui.AITGUIPlugin
           inputs:
               - log_stream
               - telem_stream
           outputs:
               - command_stream

       - plugin:
           name: ait.core.server.plugins.data_archive.DataArchive
           inputs:
               - telem_stream
               - 8086
          datastore: ait.core.db.InfluxDBBackend

"

My docker influxdb instance seems to be working properly as I can create and use databases from the command line, as well as ping the port to see a response. Any ideas as to what this error could mean?

Start with ait/core/db.py around connect() line 262 and reproduce the db.connect() step from issue #243 using the shown configuration and ait-server logs. Compare the result of get_list_database() with the expected entries; done means the InfluxDB backend connects without the TypeError and related data-archive/plugin errors.
