Unable to connect to Neo4j 2.2.5 community edition, no errors thrown.

[MaxYari]

Hello fellow coders! Honestly i'm just feeling stupid asking this, .. bit i'm stuck at the mere beginning! I'm running Neo4j 2.2.5 community edition on windows 8, I can access neo4j's awesome browser interface on http://localhost:7474 and now i'm trying to connect from node:

    var neo = new neo4j.GraphDatabase({
    url: 'http://localhost:7474',
    auth: {username: 'neo4j', password: '***'}    
});

But nothing is happening, complete silence! Even if i change url or username/password to some random thing... Console.log of neo shows this:

 { reviveJSON: [Function],
       url: 'http://localhost:7474',
       _request:
        { get: [Function],
          post: [Function],
          put: [Function],
          del: [Function],
          head: [Function] },
 _root: null,
 _services: null }

So running neo.cypher for example obvoiusly throws undefined... what am I missing?

Hi @MaxYari,

It sounds like you're running node-neo4j v1, when you want to be running node-neo4j v2. =)

Try npm uninstall neo4j && npm install neo4j@2.0.0-RC2. Does that work?

Sorry, I realize the v2 readme doesn't make this clear. Will fix. Thanks!

Same thing happened to me, and solved now ~

Were this message been in the readme.md's installation section.

@aseemk I was trying everything to get neo4j going asap that day so i just migrated to seraph =) But yep, it seems that was the reason why my node-neo4j was silently failing, thank You!
