Error: Could not find or load main class com.neo4j.server.enterprise.EnterpriseEntryPoint

not really sure whats going on.

arch linux
neo4j 4.0.4-1

not 100% to exact startup method but you startup the neo4j service. Afterwards I head to the console, sudo neo4j start and it never works.

Hello @pshoultzula and welcome to the community

Are you trying to start Neo4j Server?

Running Neo4J Desktop 1.2.9 on Mac (Catalina)

Stopped database (4.0.3 Enterprise) using Desktop control. Cannot restart

Database failed to start: DB [database-2a721fe5-04b7-4bc9-9354-7af552d5f3c8] 'v4.0.3' exited

Error: Could not find or load main class com.neo4j.server.enterprise.EnterpriseEntryPoint
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.neo4j.server.enterprise.EnterpriseEntryPoint

Noticed that Mac had restarted overnight. Downloaded and reinstalled Neo4J Desktop thinking there might have been corruption of the app but still same error / unable to start database.

Is it possible to manually move data to new location to try and start a new database instance?

yea, just trying to start it and run a local version of it on my machine

Hello,
I encounter the same problem :
I installed neo4j 4.0 Enterprise version on linux 18.04 using apt-get (following the neo4j installation manual)
I stopped it with systemctl stop neo4j
then I changed the configuration file in order to change the data, import, run, plugins and log directories to another disk.
The systemctl cat neo4j shows that all directories are correctly changed.
but systemctl start neo4j now produces the same error :
Error: Could not find or load main class com.neo4j.server.enterprise.EnterpriseEntryPoint
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.neo4j.server.enterprise.EnterpriseEntryPoint

Maybe those details will help finding a solution for both of us ?

cheers,
Adrien
