I installed Neo4j as instructed in the site and was able to install and stat server. However I tried to copy the Beer example DB by stopping the server and deleting the current graph.db in the \data folder and replaced with the one Beer example downloaded from online (graph.db folder). This is the only step I did.
Now the issue is, when i tried to start the Server I get "StartService FAILED 1053"
I am using following command on the powershell in windows - c:\neo4j-community-2.0.0-M03> .\bat\Neo4j.bat start
Can someone please help if I have done anything wrong here.
Thank you!
You are running neo4j 2.0 against an older database file. You'll need to set the config parameter to allow the store to be upgraded before starting. See instructions here:

On ubuntu 16.04, when trying to uninstall neo4j I typed:
sudo apt-get purge neo4j*
However, the neo4j folder and all of the data still exist in
/var/lib/neo4j
Secondly, I tried to just install the newest version using:
sudo apt-get install neo4j
and when I checked the version from the commandline I got:
neo4j 3.3.4
This is what I want, but when I start the service and check the version in the web application (http://localhost:7474/browser/), it says that the neo4j version is still 3.1.4.
So, basically I would like to completely remove neo4j, and download the newest version. What is the recommended way of doing this in ubuntu 16.04.
I'm new to neo4j, so I'm sure I'm missing something. Thanks for your help.
I followed the instructions here and they really helped.
Specifically, I deleted my old neo4j folder located in /var/lib/, and in it's place, I put the new version (which was downloaded from the link above and the top folder was renamed "neo4j"). I'm rebuilding my database from scratch, so I wasn't concerned about keeping any of the data I had previously (although maybe you could just copy it over to the new neo4j folder, I don't know).
I started the neo4j service by typing
/var/lib/neo4j/bin/neo4j start
and everything was brand new and seemed to be working. Part of the reason I did a fresh install was because I could not understand how to upgrade based on the documentation. I'll have to look into that more.
I also added the jar file for the corresponding apoc procedures to my plugins folder (/var/lib/neo4j/plugins), and adjusted the neo4j conf file (var/lib/neo4j/conf/neo4j.conf) accordingly:
dbms.security.procedures.unrestricted=apoc.*
and apoc procedures are now being recognized, which is fantastic.
Perhaps there is a better way to have done this, but things seem to be working so far. My database is small right now, so I can build it from scratch easily. Let me know if there is a better way to go about it.
well, I have tried the method above and it did not work. Since the main purpose is to use the verison 4.x.x of neo4j, I tried anothor way to reach the same effect.
At first, download the neo4j-community-4.x.x and put it in someplace where you want, then open the config/neo4j.conf file and change some configuration as follows:
dbms.connector.bolt.listen_address=:7688
dbms.connector.http.listen_address=:7475
After that, start the neo4j by running neo4j start and you shall access the neo4j from browser at localhost:7475, it did work for me. As for the old version, just let it go.
I try to install InfluxDB Enterprise Edition using this documentation: https://docs.influxdata.com/enterprise/v1.2/production_installation/. The Requirements suggest to either use a license-key or license-path, where I do it with the License Key.
In Step 2, after installing, configuring and starting the Data Nodes I try to join the data nodes to the cluster. But executing influxd-ctl add-data enterprise-data-01:8088 gives me the error:
add-data: operation exited with error: open /tmp/influx-enterprise.key.json: no such file or directory
although I configured not to use the license-key json but rather the license-key.
I also have the json file, so I tried it with the license-path but still getting the same error. Has somebody else encountered the same issues?
EDIT
Issue has been resolved, I had to restart the Data nodes after I changed the configuration to use the license-path facepalm. I went into this problem as I previously entered an old license key.
I have an instance in AWS hosting a Neo4j DB.
The version im using is 2.3.1.
I backed it up using "neo4j-backup".
I then zipped the files and uploaded to an external storage.
I wanted to restore the DB to another instance I have using the same version (2.3.1), so I copied the files to the same folder the 1st instance is using.
When I run the neo4j console command it states:
ERROR Neo4j cannot be started, because the database files require upgrading and upgrades are disabled in configuration. Please set 'allow_store_upgrade' to 'true' in your configuration file and try again.
Of course the "allow_store_upgrade" is commented out,
Do I have to do the upgrade when restoring?
How can I find the DB version?
If you're using the same version you shouldn't need to comment it out. Though I don't think it would harm anything if you do (especially if you still have that backup somewhere else).
You should be able to find the version of Neo4j in the CHANGES.txt / README.txt files. It should also output the version in data/graph.db/messages.log when you start up the server. Also if you go to the web console (at http://localhost:7474 by default) it will show you the version.
I just upgraded my Neo4J from 1.9.4 to 2.0.1 newest stable release.
The upgrade instructions say that you can just start the new Neo4J with the old database provided that
allow_store_upgrade=true
which is exactly what I did.
However, when I copied my old graph.db folder (which contains all data) into the data folder of the new installation and tried to run neo4j for the first time, it didn't work. The error message I got in terminal upon neo4j start was
Using additional JVM arguments: -server -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -
Dorg.neo4j.server.properties=conf/neo4j-server.properties -
Djava.util.logging.config.file=conf/logging.properties -
Dlog4j.configuration=file:conf/log4j.properties -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -
XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
Starting Neo4j Server...WARNING: not changing user
process [462]... waiting for server to be ready... Failed to start within 120 seconds.
Neo4j Server may have failed to start, please check the logs.
When I removed the graph.db folder from the new installation and ran neo4j start once again, it all started fine, but with a new clean database, of course.
FIY I run it on Mac OS X 10.9, the newest Java 1.7.0_51-b13 SDK installed.
Does anybody know what I did wrong? Thank you!
Ok, I found a solution. The upgrade instructions say that you should uncomment this string in conf/neo4j.properties:
#allow_store_upgrade=true
But what they don't say is that you should uncomment is in the OLD database BEFORE you shut it down the one last time in the old version.
Then, when you install the new database, just copy the graph.db folder into the /data folder of the new 2.0.1 Neo4J, then, before launching it, go to /conf folder of the NEW database, find that same neo4j.properties file, UNCOMMENT that same line:
allow_store_upgrade=true
Then launch the new 2.0.1 Neo4J database for the first time, make sure the data is all fine.
Don't forget to then comment that option once you shut down the database.
A bit of a complicated way to update, would be great if Neo4J provided a better and more streamlined way to do that...
i am getting this
Windows could not start the SphinxSearch service on Local Computer.
Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.
i got installation instruction from this .
http://blog.robbsnet.com/2011/07/how-to-install-and-implement-sphinx.html
build process is complete but when i start the sphinx search service i got errors .
Try running searchd manually from Command Prompt. Maybe it will give you a useful error message.
Try also looking in searchd.log
For anyone who is still having problems with the Windows service:
Make sure your configuration is correct for both database and paths and the needed folders & files are created.
Make sure that the service "command" matches the correct paths and files, to do so you have to:
Run administrative tools, click on local services, then find SphinxSearch. Click on its properties and read the line the service is trying to execute. If the configuration path doesn't match the service start command, it will fail to start.
FYI, this can also happen because your search data files are corrupt. Easy fix for that is to nuke the files and refill them.
