Manually Merging neo4j-wrapper.conf into neo4j.conf in Neo4j 3.1

Neo4j 3.1 takes the configuration changes made in Neo4j 3.0 a step further, and ships with a single configuration file: conf/neo4j.conf. This is the result of merging the contents of conf/neo4j.conf and conf/neo4j-wrapper.conf. The upgrade does not merge these automatically, and conf/neo4j-wrapper.conf is deprecated but still supported until the end of 3.x. This, merging the two is optional at this point, but a good step to take in preparation for future versions.

One can simply copy the entire contents of conf/neo4j-wrapper.conf and paste them at the end of conf/neo4j.conf. Or, use the sample script below. Just copy the script, paste into a new file with execute privileges in $NEO4J_HOME/bin, and run it:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# This script will merge an existing neo4j.conf and neo4j-wrapper.conf
# This script is designed to be run from the bin/ directory of Neo4j, and expects both neo4j.conf 
# and neo4j-wrapper.conf to be located in the conf/ directory.
# This is a sample script that is not part of the Neo4j project.
# Please be sure to read, understand and adapt this script as appropriate for your environment
