neo4j-server.properties missing and unable to start neo4j

i followed the link http://debian.neo4j.org/ for intalling neo4j. But when i checked /etc/neo4j there is only 2 files named neo4j.conf and neo4j-wrapper.conf. There is no neo4j-server.properties. And i am unable to start neo4j using sudo service neo4j-service start it retuns, Failed to start neo4j-service.service: Unit neo4j-service.service not found. Is there ay solution?

I had an issue using neo4j start as well. For me the issue was in Centos 7, but I resolved it with:

./bin/neo4j start

As William explained, the Debian package for Neo4j 3.0 and above no longer creates a service by the name of neo4j-service.

You can use the following commands 

service neo4j start -> starts the neo4j database service
service neo4j stop  -> stops the neo4j database service
service neo4j status -> displays the status of the neo4j database service

The neo4j-service service is no longer created in the Neo4j 3.0 Debian package. Instead there is a symlink to the neo4j binary in /usr/local/bin so you can simply use neo4j start, neo4j stop and neo4j restart to start and stop Neo4j.

As noted in the manual the configuration files in Neo4j 3.0 have been consolidated and renamed.
