Movie Database Does Not Start

Hi, if you are using JDK 10 maybe Neo4J 4.+ doesn't start. Because i saw in somewhere it required least JDK 11. Despite i can give an answer to your question.

Steps:

  • Open your Neo4j Desktop.
  • You will see your Database.
  • It has a three dots in the right corner. Click it.
  • Open the manage.
  • You should see settings tab and click it. Then write that arguments.

Have a good day.

It didnt work. I have changed jdk to version 11. Then also same result. Shows to change the port..fixing it also not working

Hi again,

This solution about language problem in the JDK. If you are using English language or if your language's doesn't contain any special chars this solution will not working. You should check your logs and if it is different this topic's first message should open new topic.

Have a good day.

Hi there,
Sorry I didnt have the language issue. My database is not starting after installation as in the first thread. I am using OS in English only

I am having the same issue. Neo4j prompted to fix config issue then killed the session before it started.
installed the update and still had the same issue
Cheers

I am having a similar problem starting up a brand new DB. To start fresh I wiped out my neo4j install, downloaded the most recent and installed. When it comes up I try to start the movie database and it fails every time. Here is what is in the log; I just don't see anything obvious that should be a show stopper.

Hi, I recently experienced the same issue reported by Okan. The error reported by Neo4j is not very clear (it complains about not being able to open a socket on dbms.connector.http.listen_address). However, the problem was simply that my default Java version was still set to Java 8 but as soon as I changed it to Java 11 the database was able to start up OK. This is because Neo4j 4.x requires Java 11.

I hope this helps.

  • Dave

it's worked to me!!
dbms.jvm.additional= -Duser.country=EN -Duser.language=EN -Duser.variant=Traditional_WIN

I am having the same problem that was reported by Okan and David Brennan others.

Community version of Neo4j fails to start. "ERROR Failed to start Neo4j on dbms.connector.http.listen_address, a socket address"

I tried updating the language to English, am on JDK 16, checked to ensure that no other Neo4J is running concurrently.

Some details
Windows 10 OS
neo4j-community-4.2.4
JDK 16
clean installation
neo4j is not executable from windows search; CLI ".\bin\neo4j.bat console -verbose" results in " ERROR Failed to start Neo4j on dbms.connector.http.listen_address, a socket address"

Hi utku, thank you for your solution. You saved my time :))

I followed all the suggestions described above, but still the issue is there as soon as I instal APOC plugin

Thanks @UtkuErdemir .
You saved my day.
My operating system language is turkish too.
