title: Neo4j failed to start on ubuntu
body: <p>I'm working with neo4j on AWS server ec2 ubuntu instance.</p>
  
  <p>Everything worked great, but when I created an image of my ec2 instance, the instance had to reboot and every since i can't get my neo4j db server to run.</p>
  
  <p>the only thing I see in my console.log file is the following:</p>
