I generated my graph.db using neo4j-admin import command. I also changed the dbms.allow_upgrade=true as suggested by logs. What is the problem here and how should I proceed?

Answer 1

Actually I created the graph.db using version 3.4.0 and was trying to run using 3.3.1. When i tried running it with 3.4.0, it worked!
