Transaction successful but ether not transferred to destination account

Question

I am following this article and everything works expected but ether is not getting transferred to the to account.Please find the logs below.

eth.sendTransaction({from:eth.accounts[0], to:eth.accounts[1], value: web3.toWei(4, "ether")})

above line of code runs and miner also get updated with below log.

INFO [09-12|18:03:43.102] Submitted transaction                    fullhash=0xb7810c410aeff448b7785bdaf3d7929dade567a919b35c8d543aa4d85066d322 recipient=0xf74c6516c4f7c87C663f3AEfcE67D815Fb1BF047

But amount after successful transaction always remains zero.

I have searched and applied all the possible workarounds i could find on ethereum stackexchange but nothing helped.

Answer 1

Luckily after posting the question i just restarted the miner like below.

miner.stop()
miner.start(1)

and it worked as expected like below.
