title: failed importing a neo4j db, created on mac, in a ubuntu machine - is neo4j.conf on ubuntu different from mac?
body: <p>I spent hours trying to figure out why setting absolute path to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>dbms.active_database = my_db/data/graph.db
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in <code>neo4j.conf</code> file </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>it was resulting in an empty db.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>It turns out that the db I created on laptop, on <em>mac</em>, does not have a file named "<code>graph.db</code>". In fact, I cannot locate which is the db file: see folder structure below.</p>
  
  <p>The configuration file on mac does not have any "<code>dbms.active_database</code>" variable nor "<code>dbms.directories.data</code>" which I see on ubuntu.</p>
  
  <p>The structure of the db I populated on mac misses a file "graph.db".</p>
  
  <p>This is my_db folder structure:</p>

  <p>I want to copy it on a ubuntu machine, in a custom folder.
  Could you explain the differences on mac and ubuntu, to make it compatible?
  Should I create my db again on the new machine?</p>
