Neo4j

lingvisa · ‎11-02-2020

I am in the community version and have a main database using the default 'neo4j' name, and I created a test db with the name 'test.db' under the director data/databases/test.db/. The way I switch between these 2 databaes is by changing this line in the conf/neo4j.conf:

# The name of the default database
#dbms.default_database=neo4j
dbms.default_database=test.db

I can always safely switch to 'neo4j', but when I tried to switch back to 'test.db', in the browser, it fails, giving this message:

Database 'test.db' is unavailable. Run :sysinfo for more info.

The output of :sysinfo is:

Store Sizes

ID Allocation

Page Cache

Transactions

which is not helpful. In the 'use database' menu, it indeed displays 'test.db' as the default db.

However, if I delete the data/databases/test.db/ and recreate it, it works fine.

This by itself might not be enough information to spot what's going on. Check the output in your debug.log file (same directory as neo4j.log) and see what it has to say about starting that database when you switch.

After I switched to the test.db database and neo4j restart, the debug log gives this:

Neo4j Team: Have you seen similar errors reported before? The error message is above. This happens when I switch between two databases by changing the configuration entry:

#dbms.default_database=neo4j
dbms.default_database=test.db

I haven't found the exact reason for this. After switching, the database is up, and I created a new graph in it. Everything is fine. However, if I stop it and want to restart it, this error occurs. I use:
bin/neo4j start|restart|stop

to control the db.

My db version is 4.0.4 and on MacPro.
