Change data storing location in Neo4j in Ubuntu

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

My problem is the data is stored into /var/lib/neo4j. This location in this directory is going to be full very soon. I want to change the data store location. How is this possible?

I have tried to edit the file /etc/neo4j/neo4j-server.properties in the line

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

but it doesn't work.

Try to use an absolute path for org.neo4j.server.database.location and make sure the directory is writable for the user running neo4j. An alternative is symlink your real graph.db folder to /var/lib/neo4j.
