Hi,  
Can anyone help me, I am facing problem in connecting the GRANDstack to Neo4j. I am not able to figure out what the problem is. I am attaching the screenshot here of the error. It would be of great help to me if anyone can resolve my problem.

This is the error i am getting after I do "npm run start" for the starter package.

Hi - it looks to me like the error is being logged while the GraphQL API application is starting up (since the GraphQL endpoint is not available at that point).

Do you still have the error after the GraphQL API application has started?
