Joe:neo4j-community-1.4.2 Joe$ ./bin/neo4j start ## according to helpful suggestion by Mattias Joe:neo4j-community-1.4.2 Joe$ ./bin/neo4j start Detected installation in launchd, starting it… Joe:neo4j-community-1.4.2 Joe$ ./bin/neo4j status ## didn't start the server, but ./bin/neo4j info now works Neo4j Server is not running Joe:neo4j-community-1.4.2 Joe$ ./bin/neo4j remove ## I tried removing the installation for the hell of it override rw-r--r-- root/staff for /Users/Joe/Library/LaunchAgents//org.neo4j.server.plist? n ## but backed out Joe:neo4j-community-1.4.2 Joe$ ./bin/neo4j start ## tried start again Starting Neo4j Server...WARNING: not changing user process [74358]... waiting for server to be ready.......
