Update: the StackOverflow community helped me find the answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6217766/how-to-set-canonical-hostname-in-linux
Here's what you have to do: 1. open conf/neo4j-wrapper.conf 2. find the section called "Java Additional Parameters" 3. Add the following line: wrapper.java.additional.3=-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true Hope this helps someone else ... -- Jim On Thu, Jun 2, 2011 at 12:53 PM, Jim R.
