neo4j does not work in DocumentLoader

[mark-orion]

following the instructions in the Readme file does not create a working DocumentLoader:
Rake wants to start neo4j from ./db/neo4j/development what is an empty directory.
Installing neo4j through their debian repo results in a working neo4j installation, but the rails server is not acknowledging it.
Copying neo4j in the ./db/neo4j/development folder allows to start neo4j with the "Rake" command, but the rails server still crashes:
Exiting
/home/mark/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/gems/neo4j-core-5.1.12/lib/neo4j-server/resource.rb:37:in `handle_response_error!': Expected response code 200 Error for request http://localhost:7474/db/data/, 401 (Neo4j::Server::Resource::ServerException)
Please fix and/or give clear instructions in the Readme

@mark-orion thanks for reporting this. What OS are you using? Debian? I notice a case, whereby after installing neo4j it is always automatically running in the background as a user: neo4j I have to kill the process, then when it restarts via the rake command, it runs as the same user as the Rails app and does not crash. Obviously this is not good, but we will probably resolve it once we packages our tools

@bnvk thanks for looking into this. I am running XUbuntu 14.04 "Trusty". I did not see any neo4j process running, but this might be because I usually clean up all autostart scripts and only start the server demons I really need manually. I am not a Ruby expert, but I notice that it wants to start from the empty development directory. I wonder if that path is set somewhere within the software and needs changing.
