I'm using docker version of neo4j (v3.1.0) and I'm having difficulties connecting to neo4j server using neo4j-shell.
After running an instance of neo4r:3.1.0 docker, I run a bash inside the container:
$ docker exec -it neo4j /bin/bash And from there I try to run the neo4j-shell like this:
/var/lib/neo4j/bin/neo4j-shell But it errors:
$ /var/lib/neo4j/bin/neo4j-shell ERROR (-v for expanded information): Connection refused -host Domain name or IP of host to connect to (default: localhost) -port Port of host to connect to (default: 1337) -name RMI name, i.e. rmi://<host>:<port>/<name> (default: shell) -pid Process ID to connect to -c Command line to execute. After executing it the shell exits -file File containing commands to execute, or '-' to read from stdin. After executing it the shell exits -readonly Connect in readonly mode (only for connecting with -path) -path Points to a neo4j db path so that a local server can be started there -config Points to a config file when starting a local server Example arguments for remote: -port 1337 -host 192.168.1.234 -port 1337 -name shell -host localhost -readonly ...or no arguments for default values Example arguments for local: -path /path/to/db -path /path/to/db -config /path/to/neo4j.config -path /path/to/db -readonly I also tried other hosts like: localhost, 127.0.0.1 and 172.17.0.6 (the container IP). Since it didn't work I tried to list open ports on my container:
$ netstat -l Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 :::7687 :::* LISTEN tcp 0 0 :::7473 :::* LISTEN tcp 0 0 :::7474 :::* LISTEN Active UNIX domain sockets (only servers) Proto RefCnt Flags Type State I-Node Path As you can see there's no 1337 open! I've looked into the config file and the line for specifying port is commented out which means it should be set to its default value (1337).
Can anyone help me connect to neo4j using neo4j-shell?
BTW, the neo4j server is up and running and I can use its web access through port :7474.
