Install Neo4j 3.0+ as a Windows Service

Question

Has anyone tried to install version neo4j version 3 in windows as a service? I am tired of neo4j community version 3.1.0 and 3.2.0 alpha. When I try to start the service, I get the following error.

Invoke-Neo4j: The service "Neo4j Graph Database - neo4j (neo4j)" could not be started. In line: 1 char: 211 + ... t.psd1 '; Exit (Invoke-Neo4j start) + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo: NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException + FullyQualifiedErrorId: Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands. WriteErrorException, Invoke-Neo4j

Answer 1

It was possible to work as a Windows service by running this script using nssm.

powershell.exe -Command "Import-Module C:\Neo4j\bin\Neo4j-Management.psd1; Invoke-Neo4j console"

Answer 2

I ran into the same problem and got the solution this way:

you need to run PowerShell as an administrator:

• set NEO4J_HOME D: \ neo4j-community-3.3.0 {Change it in the installation directory}
• Go to the installation directory:
• ./bin/neo4j.bat install-service {when starting the server for the first time}
• ./bin/neo4j.bat start
