Change Data Warehouse in Neo4j on Ubuntu

Question

I have successfully installed neo4j with port number 7474 and it works fine.

My problem is that the data is stored in /var/lib/neo4j. This place in this catalog will be full soon. I want to change the location of the data warehouse. How is this possible?

I tried to edit the file /etc/neo4j/neo4j-server.propertiesin a line

org.neo4j.server.database.location=data/graph.db 

but that will not work.

Answer 1

Try using the absolute path for org.neo4j.server.database.locationand make sure that the directory is writable by the user working with neo4j. An alternative is to link to your real folder graph.dbon /var/lib/neo4j.
