Database failed to start: DB 'v4.1.3'. Multiple components failed to initialize the system graph

Hi,
I just installed neo4j on a Debian 9 server and tried to run movie database but it gives error. Version is 4.1.3
I could not understand what is wrong from logs.

Any ideas about what the problem could be? Am I doing something wrong in this?
Thanks!

could you share the conf file?

I rename the file and change the extension to upload it
neo4j-conf.txt (38.9 KB)

ok, could you change in the conf file the network connector configuration.

# Bolt connector
dbms.connector.bolt.enabled=true
#dbms.connector.bolt.tls_level=DISABLED
#dbms.connector.bolt.listen_address=:7687

# HTTP Connector. There can be zero or one HTTP connectors.
dbms.connector.http.enabled=true
#dbms.connector.http.listen_address=:7474

# HTTPS Connector. There can be zero or one HTTPS connectors.
dbms.connector.https.enabled=false
#dbms.connector.https.listen_address=:7473

Hello @roberto1 , Thanks for your reply. I have changed the the config but i have always the same issue.

this line ERROR Failed to start Neo4j on dbms.connector.http.listen_address still appearing?

Yes, always

It is about the JDK. If you add your DB settings this line, it will be solved.

Configuration:
dbms.jvm.additional= -Duser.country=EN -Duser.language=EN -Duser.variant=Traditional_WIN

i tried this afternoon and i had the same issue.
I retry again but it's the same

that's weird, let me think what else could be

could you comment this line?
#********************************************************************

Other Neo4j system properties

#********************************************************************
dbms.jvm.additional=-Dunsupported.dbms.udc.source=desktop

Same result
Thanks again for your help

if you create a new DB shows the same issue?
