Neo4j Server Closing for no Reason? - neo4j

I have a small database that was working fine just a day ago, but now, when I try to start it, the console claims that it succeeds in opening, but the web server hangs.
lsof -i | grep 7474
states that neo4j is listening to the port, and "close_wait"-ing, which I'm told means that the server side shut it down.
The only new error I get is that logback.groovy is missing, along with logback-test.xml, which is very odd, because I set logging to false in the neo4j config file.
Any idea what could be happening? Any one else encounter this problem?

Check messages.log for more detail about the shutdown reason.

How to deal with "Starting neo4j failed: Address localhost:7687 is already in use"?

I am using Neo4j Community Edition 3.1.1 on Mac OS X Sierra. Whenever I try to start Neo4j locally via
neo4j start
I get the following:
Starting Neo4j failed: Component 'org.neo4j.server.database.LifecycleManagingDatabase#a8ba98d' was successfully initialized, but failed to start.
Please see attached cause exception.
with the following exception at the tail of /usr/local/Cellar/neo4j/3.1.1/libexec/logs/neo4j.log
Caused by: org.neo4j.helpers.PortBindException: Address localhost:7687 is already in use, cannot bind to it.
I tried running
lsof -i -n -P | grep 7687
but it came back empty.
Please advise.
Note: I'd leave this as a comment, but don't have the required rep.
Are you sure that you have only one version of Neo4j installed?
Is your installation clean, without any traces of previous installations?
Is your JDK version >= 8?
Have you made other changes to your conf file?
Do you have the desktop app installed? des it work without issues?
Your lsof could be returning an empty value as some pids are only visible to root. Try:
sudo netstat -antlp
This should return all open ports, check if anything corresponds to 7687.
Also try running neo4j as a service. I believe it's launchctl on Mac (I use systemctl on Linux) and check if the error persists.
Cheers
I had the same exact issue, notice how neo4js is trying to get to localhost:7687?
I checked my /etc/hosts file and sure enough, I had a bogus entry for localhost (from previous testing).
I changed /etc/hosts entry back to
localhost 127.0.0.1
Saved, then ran again.
Neo4j started up fine after that.

Influxdb server not listening on 8086

I started the influxdb. The meta server is getting started at 8088 and I am seeing a series of [wal] logs. When I try to connect with the server using influx command it throws
Failed to connect to http://localhost:8086
Please check your connection settings and ensure 'influxd' is running.
The server is running in the background. What could be the reason ? I have been writing continuously and then I restarted my server. After restarting I am not able to connect to the server. I also tried connecting after an hour of restarting to make sure it was not due to some startup tasks.
What could be the reason for this ?
The db had huge number of series and it took more than 2 hours for the meta server to be up fully. Later, the http listener was up after the initial start tasks.

neo4j server is not restarting or stopping

I am getting the following errors and I dont know how to restart the server .I tried multiple times but I get the same error all the time.How can I stop and restart the server.I really appreciate any help.
./bin/neo4j start
displays:
/usr/local/neo4j/data/log/console.log: Permission denied
process [11825]... waiting for server to be ready.. Failed to start within 120 seconds.
Neo4j Server may have failed to start, please check the logs.
sudo ./bin/neo4j start
displays:
Another server-process is running with [ST=ESTABLISHED], cannot start a new one. Exiting.
The exception you get is because another server is running.
Also, there is another exception, you don't have write access in the folder for the logs.
Check if http://localhost:7474 is displaying the neo4j web browser.
If yes, locate the location of the running database :
Then go to the location and stop the db, eg based on the image :
cd /Users/cw/_graphs/tests
./bin/neo4j stop
If it is not working, try to kill the process :
sudo htop
kill -9 10522
And try to run your new database. And make sure you have the right permissions for the stores and logs.

neo4j community edition 2.1.6 server process running even after server stop command executed

I know at least a few of us had this issue come up...I am issuing the command to start the server and yet it tells me that a server process is still running at 17922...I then try the following:
./bin/neo4j status
And it tells me: "Neo4j Server is not running"
Then I issue the command to start a new server: ./bin/neo4j start
and I get the following:
Another server-process is running with [17922], cannot start a new one. Exiting.
Not looking to run multiple Neo4J servers, so I'd like to stop whatever is running in the background.
Seems the process is not nicely responding for whatever reason. You might want to inspect the log files (data/log/* and data/graph.db/messages.log) to get more insight.
To terminate the process use kill 17922. If that does not help, kill -9 17922.

Problem stopping/starting MySQL Workbench

I've installed the MySQL workbench version 5.2.34 and having problems creating a local connection. I'm getting an error saying "Can't Connect to MySQL Server on 127.0.0.1'(10061)" when i try connecting to Localhost on Port 3306. I tried restarting the service but i don't have the option to stop/start/pause or resume using Windows 7. The status is just set to "starting". I also tried "net stop mysql" from the command line in DOS but get the following error: "The service is starting or stopping. Please try again later"
Does anyone know if this is another bug in the Workbench or is there a quick solution to get around this?
You can restart mysql from services. Also, check error log (by default, on Windows 7 machine it's under ...ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server [version]\data
Sounds like a problem with MySQL itself starting up. You may have to kill the mysqld process if nothing else gets it into a started or stopped state, and then investigate the .err logs in your data directory.
This solution uses the window's mysql installer which you have used to install your MySQL.
Even though this post is very old, I have wasted around 2 hours and hence want to post this so that it can save someone else's time.
I have tried every other way of restartring the service, but mysql service just wont start.
Start your windows mysql installer. For me it was "mysql-installer-community-8.0.20.0"
Then remove/uninstall the SQL Server and remove all configurations
Manually delete the SQL Server folder from "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0."
Start your mysql installer again and install the SQL Server again
You can check now that the MySqL Server has started.
