Suppose I have a graph database created with Neo4j Desktop in the path
path/neo4jDatabases/database-abc/installation-3.5.5
In a different path I have the neo4j-community-3.5.5 folder (I am on OSX). I am trying to start the path/neo4jDatabases/database-abc/installation-3.5.5 database with neo4j-community.
I am trying this command:
sudo ./bin/neo4j console -path path/neo4jDatabases/database-abc/installation-3.5.5
but the started database is using the directories of neo4j-community-3.5.5 instead of the ones specified in the path.
How can I start neo4j-community using the path of an existing db (created with Neo4j Desktop)?
The path argument doesn't exist for the command neo4j.
If you want to change the data folder location of your community server, you need to modify the configuration of your community server (the conf/neo4j.conf) by specifying the dbms.directories.data property :
dbms.directories.data=path/neo4jDatabases/database-abc/installation-3.5.5/data
Cheers.
