Neo4j service won't start with imported database on Debian

I recently played with neo4j on my Debian 7.8 installation. It's amazing!

Today I imported about 100,000 nodes and 150,000 relationships using the neo4j-import tool. I stopped the neo4j service and copied the imported database to / var / lib / neo 4j / data / graph.db - but now the Neo4j service won't start

Starting Neo4j Server...WARNING: not changing user
process [4963]... waiting for server to be ready....... Failed to start within 120 seconds.
Neo4j Server may have failed to start, please check the logs.

      

        
        
        
      

    

Which is weird because it doesn't wait 120 seconds to start - max 5. The only log that gets generated is console.log in / var / log / neo 4j

2015-07-01 00:10:24.363+0000 INFO  [API] Setting startup timeout to: 120000ms based on 120000
2015-07-01 00:10:26.501+0000 INFO  [API] Successfully shutdown Neo4j Server.

      

        
        
        
      

    

which is not very helpful. When I drop the database neo4j can start. I copied graph.db into my windows installation and it works well, I can search through nodes, etc., Maybe it has something to do with my Debian setup? I added a line to / etc / neo 4j / neo4j-server.properties

 org.neo4j.server.startup_timeout=0

      

        
        
        
      

    

but that didn't change anything, the service still takes a few seconds to start. Any ideas?

Here's graph.db messages.log - nothing is added when I try to start the service
