Neo4j 2.2.2 server does not start after db is generated via java code

Question

I am new to Neo4j. I am trying some application in Java using Neo4j 2.2.2 along with Spring Data. I am using spring-data-neo4j (2.2.2.RELEASE) to connect the Neo4j DB. I have successfully done all CRUD opertaions using repositories in Spring Data. But I am unable to open & view this DB in the Neo4J UI tool. When I am trying to start Neo4J server from console, I am getting bellow error message.

emuser1@em02-desktop:~/Installations/neo4j-community-2.2.2/bin$ ./neo4j start
WARNING: Max 1024 open files allowed, minimum of 40 000 recommended. See the Neo4j manual.
Starting Neo4j Server...WARNING: not changing user
process [14509]... waiting for server to be ready.. Failed to start within 120 seconds.
Neo4j Server may have failed to start, please check the logs.

I have checked the message.log file in my DB store. It is showing below exceptions.

Can anyone please help me. Is there anything I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Note: I have same question as here. But there is no satisfying answer.

Answer 1

You have some version confusion. Spring Data Neo4j 2.2.2 works with Neo4j 1.9 or so. SDN 3.0 with Neo4j 2.0 and only SDN 3.3.1 (to be released) with Neo4j 2.2.2. SDN 3.3.0 works with Neo4j 2.1.x

That's why it asks you for the allow_store_upgrade=true configuration setting in conf/neo4j.properties.

But I recommend to upgrade your SDN project to SDN 3.3.0 then reimport your data and still upgrade from Neo4j 2.1 to 2.2 but at least you will have labels and schema indexes.
