How can I use neo4j-spatial in neo4j-ce.exe(3.0.6)

[cara-shi]

Hi, I'm new in neo4j. I want to use neo4j-spatial in neo4j_3.0.6_community edition. I have copied the neo4j-spatial-0.23-neo4j-3.0.4-server-plugin.jar in plugins. But it doesn't work. How can I use neo4j-spatial in neo4j_3.0.6_community edition? Thanks

Can you check your logs/neo4j.log file and see that it mentions loading the spatial plugin? There should be lines like:

I got it

[ProjectCheshire]

@craigtaverner Having a similar issue... Except...nothing in the logs. Ive tried building from source, as well as just dropping in the precompiled .jars.

Neo4j 3.1.1 on DigitalOcean No matter what I do the spatial plugin isn't showing up in the logs or the rest call. Was there a compatibility change between 3.0.x and 3.1.x?

[craigtaverner]

@ProjectCheshire Neo4j Spatial has not yet been ported to 3.1.x. There is are branches with that port if you want to try it. See:

• https://github.com/neo4j-contrib/spatial/tree/3.1
• https://github.com/sarmbruster/spatial/tree/3.1

@cara-shi Is this issue still a problem for you or can I close it?
