On startup I get a message, "Failed to start within 120 seconds. Neo4j Server failed to start, please check the logs for details". Looking at console.log I see:

Logger not configured, logging to std out instead: [FINE] Mounting servlet at [/]

Looking at neo4j.0.0.log:

Where should I look next to see why all off a sudden the address is not available? And what address is unavailable?

Thank you.

Can you check that your network is correctly set-up?

- ip-address that neo4j is configured to bind to (localhost or otherwise)
- is anything else running on the port?
- reboot the machine?
