问题
I'm unable to start the latest Neo4j community server 2.1.2 on OSX with java 7. After downloading and extracting the neo4j-community-2.1.2-unix.tar.gz I've tried to run ./bin/neo4j start without modifying any configuration or data dir, but it fails with
neo4j-community-2.1.2 markus$ ./bin/neo4j start
Using additional JVM arguments: -server -XX:+DisableExplicitGC - org.neo4j.server.properties=conf/neo4j-server.properties -Djava.util.logging.config.file=conf/logging.properties -Dlog4j.configuration=file:conf/log4j.properties -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
Starting Neo4j Server...WARNING: not changing user
process [14899]... waiting for server to be ready................................. Failed to start within 120 seconds.
Neo4j Server may have failed to start, please check the logs.
The data/log/console.log does not contain much useful:
2014-06-20 06:24:04.865+0000 INFO [API] Setting startup timeout to: 120000ms based on -1
I am running java 7 on OSX Mavericks 10.9.2:
java version "1.7.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode)
Any ideas of what is going wrong or how to better debug the problem appreciated

I got the same problem.
In my case it was because neo4j-shell tried to use the used port 1337.
Just edit the last line in conf/neo4j.properties and change the port to something else, like
# The port the shell will listen on, default is 1337
remote_shell_port=1338
