Good day, I have a problem installing Sonarqube 6.7.4 LTS, I use Ubuntu Server 16.04, Mysql 5.7, Java8 JDK.

- Install Java with the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get -y install oracle-java8-installer

- Install MySql 5.7 with the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty universe'

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt install mysql-server-5.7

sudo systemctl start mysql

- I create the database and the user with the respective permissions:

CREATE DATABASE sonar CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

CREATE USER 'sonar' IDENTIFIED BY 'sonar';

GRANT ALL ON sonar.* TO 'sonar'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'sonar';

GRANT ALL ON sonar.* TO 'sonar'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'sonar';

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Download the Sonarqube 6.7.4 LTS version from https://sonarsource.bintray.com/Distribution/sonarqube/ and configure the sonar.properties file in the path /opt/sonar/conf/sonar.properties:

sonar.jdbc.username=sonar

sonar.jdbc.password=sonar

sonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sonar?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8&rewriteBatchedStatements=true&useConfigs=maxPerformance&useSSL=false

sonar.web.host=0.0.0.0

sonar.web.port=9000

sonar.web.context=/sonar

When the sonar.sh service is executed, the database migration is not performed (it is shown empty), the service is started for a few seconds and it is stopped. Implement the SonarQube server as a service but it still does not work.

The sonar.log file shows the following:

Launching a JVM...

Please I need a support, I have several days with this case.

Hi Pierre,

I'm suspecting that your are trying to start SonarQube as root, you have to create a user and use that user to start SonarQube.

Can you add es.log to confirm that ?

Cheers,

Hi Eric, I'm telling you that if I'm using the root user to start, I'll still send you the es.log file for your confirmation. Can the user that was created when installing Ubuntu 16.04 be used in the first instance?

Could you tell me which is the correct procedure?

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi Pierre,

Yes you can use the user created during installation of Ubuntu. And according to the exception, I confirm that you tried to start SonarQube as root.

Hi Eric, use a non-root user but the same thing happened to me, the sonar.sh service starts for a few seconds and then stops. I send you the log es.log what it indicates, how I solve this problem. The es.log file shows the following:

Inicie el servicio sonar.sh pero solo comienza unos instantes y luego se detiene, con esto no puedo realizar la migración de la base de datos a Mysql. En el archivo es.log, muestra lo siguiente:
