I have checked into another question on the same issue in the link
Linux port open locally, but not externally
neo4j-shell -host 127.0.0.1 -port 1337
I get the error
root@ip-10-142-85-146:~# neo4j-shell -v -host 127.0.0.1 -port 1337
ERROR (-v for expanded information):

I see some parallels here; the neo4j-shell is looking for 10.142.85.146 and not able to find it
I am able to work properly with the public ip address; it is the local address I am having a problem
any help will be appreciated. I did not want to start another question and hence writing in the same thread
Additional Information the most weird part is that my AWS console says the private is 10.142.65.14 how is this translated to 10.142.85.146 I have no idea
