title: Neo4j server not starting in 120 seconds
body: <p>I am trying to run a Neo4j server on AWS but it is giving following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>* Restarting Neo4j Graph Database neo4j
  WARNING: Max 1024 open files allowed, minimum of 40 000 recommended. See the Neo4j manual.
  Using additional JVM arguments:  -server -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -Dorg.neo4j.server.properties=conf/neo4j-server.properties -Djava.util.logging.config.file=conf/logging.properties -Dlog4j.configuration=file:conf/log4j.properties -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
  Starting Neo4j Server...WARNING: not changing user
  process [26079]... waiting for server to be ready.......... Failed to start within 120 seconds.
  Neo4j Server may have failed to start, please check the logs.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Searching Google I found information suggesting to increase the maximum number of open files to 40000; I have tried that but unfortunately the result is same.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Specs:</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>OS version: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS</li>
  <li>Neo4j : 2.0.3 stable release</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Also, I am doing a batch import from two CSV files via batch importer after stopping the server but when I restart the server after import, it does not start and produces the error mentioned above.</p>
