I can start already two different Neo4j instances on my Windows machine on the console, but how can I now start them automatically as a Windows Service? I was just able to install one with the powershell scripts.
Many Thanks
When you install Neo4j as a service, Neo4j takes the configuration dbms.windows_service_name as a service name.
So to install two Neo4j as a service, you need to change one.
I recommend you to uninstall all neo4j services, and then to reinstall them with ta diffrent name.

I'm using neo4j v3.5. Is there a way to run neo4j as a Windows service under a less-privileged service account? I'm currently using the "neo4j.bat install-service" command to install the service on Windows. This command runs the service under the predefined SYSTEM/LocalSystem account available in Windows. The "LocalSystem" account has extensive privileges, however, so I would like to create a less privileged Windows account to run the neo4j service. Has anyone done this before using automated commands or batch/Powershell scripts?
I used this 3rd party tool called psexec: https://ss64.com/nt/psexec.html. I can run batch files from a local machine (or even remote) using a different id/password. Give it a try.
For example:
psexec \\workstation64 -c "<full_path_here>\neo4j.bat install-service" -u LESS_PRIV_USER -p LESS_PRIV_USER_PASSWORD
I would like to use Neo4j to learn how graph databases work and make some experiences with my own datasets. According to that and since Neo4j claims to be open source I've downloaded the Windows Neo4j Desktop version, but every project and database initialized shows the "Enterprise" attribute which means that I just initialized the Enterprise edition.
Any idea how to setup a project and a database based on the community edition?
Solved it. If you dont setup path variables you have enter the bin directory via cmd and type "neo4j.bat install-service" and then neo4j.bat to start the database-server. The officiall installation instructions should have those details.
just open a commandline in the bin folder. There you execute the command "neo4j.bat console" which creates a local server, that you then reach via localhost:7474.
The neo4j Download Center allows you to choose between downloading the Enterprise Edition, the Community Edition, and the Desktop.
I have a new desktop Windows 10 development machine and am trying to minimize what I install on it.
On my old development machine I wound up with multiple versions of SQL Server and Management Studio.
This time I have installed SQL Server in a docker container.
Because of the answer to This question I understand I should not put Management Studio in a container. So where should I put it. In Hyper-V ?
You can put your Management Studio in your Hyper-V.
From docker expose the ports of SQL server.
After this you should be able to connect to the SQL server running inside your docker.
If required to use some hostname (is management studio needs it) then edit the host file and add the hostname and IP address as docker IP address so that your management studio contacts the docker.
Why "minimize" your installation and put barriers between yourself and your work? The purpose of a development machine is to have all the necessary tools to do your job at your disposal.
There's nothing wrong with having multiple versions of SQL Server or Management Studio installed on a single development machine, unless you're short on disk space. And there is no need to containerize them or put them in separate VMs.
I would, however, recommend installing them in the order they were released (oldest to newest). In the past, I've had as many as four releases of SQL Server installed on a single development machine, along with their corresponding SSMS (because until 2016, SSMS always came along for the ride). No troubles.
I would like to use the Spark-graphX packages available to Neo4j through Mazerunner, however I am an analyst and not a software person. I am running Windows 7 on my laptop and Neo4j 2.3.0, and would like a step-by-step guide explaining how I can set-up Mazerunner for both Community & Enterprise. There's a lot of mention of dockers and containers, and I have no idea what these are, or how to set them up. Simple instructions would be of sooo much help! :)
Docker is primarily Operating System Level Visualization technology designed to run on Unix based systems (Linux,Mac,FreeBSD). Luckily Docker provides a Windows version that sort of does the same thing on Unix.
What happens is, after you have installed Docker, it allows you to run what they call containers which are basically virtual machines on top of your host (Windows 7 Running Docker). This allows you to run services like Neo4j in an isolated environment. Docker also allows you to download and install pre-configured, pre-compiled images of operating systems that usually provide some sort of service or have some software pre-installed.
In your case, I believe all you have to do is:
First install Docker
Use "Docker Compose" to download and install the images.
Continue Reading the Tutorial as you have now installed the required docker images
Note: Some of the operations, like the one in Step 2 will require command-line access and Also the creation of a "docker-compose.yml" so, be sure to visit all the links I have provided. Spend a little time going through them and you should be alright.
PS: great blog. definitely bookmarking it!
I want to start my Neo4j service when booting, and my system environment is Redhat.
I add below text on /etc/rc.d/rc.local, but it is not working
/opt/neo4j/bin/neo4j start
But it works for MongoDB...
/opt/mongodb/bin/mongod
Please take a look at the Neo4j reference for Linux installation. You can find it here:
http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/stable/server-installation.html#_linux_service
We have an installer script that will configure Neo4j to startup at system boot $ /path/to/neo4j-community-2.1.4/bin/neo4j-installer install
First remove the text you've added from /etc/rc.d/rc.local to make sure there aren't any conflicts.
You can also use our debian package installation to automatically download, install, and configure Neo4j as a service on Linux.
That information can be found here: http://debian.neo4j.org/
