Neo4j server activation error, java.lang.IllegalStateException: ManagerFactory, java.io.FileNotFoundException

Question

I tried to download neo4j today, and when I am trying to activate the server it does not work and giving me an error. I am using neo4j-community-4.2.3 and JDK-11.0.10.

neo4j install-service completed and I typed eno4j start (no error occurred). I tried to connect to the server with a web browser and it does not work.

I typed neo4j console and got this error

 java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Program Files\neo4j-community-4.2.3\logs\debug.log (Access is denied)

Answer 1

The problem was that I didn't have administrator permissions. If you encounter this problem run cmd as an administrator and then run the command.
