Its lock file has been locked by another process - Neo4j Embedded

Question

I am developing a embedded application of the Neo4j and I try run this but I get this error:

Store and its lock file has been locked by another process: /home/dev/neo4j-community-2.3.2/data/graph.db/store_lock. Please ensure no other process is using this database, and that the directory is writable (required even for read-only access)

I know that is because the neo4j server application is running and it lock the directory to writable for another application.

But I want run both, the neo4j server with browser studio and my embedded application.

I am use the community edition 2.3.2 in Linux.

How can I do it?

It is possible in enterprise version?

Thanks

On the very same directory you can only run at most one instance at a given time.

Enterprise edition enables master-slave replication, so the graph.db is folder is propagated from master to slave instance. This would be an option for you.

I assume you want to access you embedded instance via the browser. See this blog post http://graphaware.com/neo4j/2014/11/21/neo4j-browser-with-embedded.html - be aware this one is based on 2.1 - as far as I remember in 2.3 some things have changed since then.
