Hi everyone, a rather old linux installation on our build server led us to find out that the new start script introduced in M05 (?) does not work with all versions of bash.
We got: cruise:/virtual/hudson/hudson_home/jobs/graphdb/workspace# /opt/neo4j/bin/neo4j start /opt/neo4j/bin/neo4j: line 37: syntax error in conditional expression: unexpected token `(' /opt/neo4j/bin/neo4j: line 37: syntax error near `^([' /opt/neo4j/bin/neo4j: line 37: ` if [[ ${line} =~ ^([^#\s][^=]+)=(.+)$ ]]; then' On a system with this info: ext-xecruise52-1:/opt/neo4j/bin# cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.28.7-ibm-x3650 (root@obc-fai42-1) (gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)) #1 SMP Thu Feb 26 13:50:31 CET 2009 Here is the quick fix I just found (no patch, since I don't want to suggest I know it works on other system versions...). Enclose the regexps on line 37ff in quotes as so: if [[ ${line} =~ "^([^#\s][^=]+)=(.+)$" ]]; then key=`echo ${BASH_REMATCH[1]} | sed 's/\./_/g'` value="${BASH_REMATCH[2]}" if [[ ${key} =~ "^(.*)_([0-9]+)$" ]]; then Cheers, Stephan _______________________________________________ Neo4j mailing list User@lists.neo4j.org https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
