SONAR not working on Web Browser

Question

I am trying to access Sonar through web browser. I already started it on my terminal but when I try to access it on web browser through , it shows nothing. However, the status shows Sonar is running. How can I make it running on the web browser ?

The configuration for Sonar web is:

sonar.web.host=127.0.0.1

sonar.web.context=/sonar

sonar.web.port=9000

Answer 1

sonar.web.host=127.0.0.1

I think this is the problematic line in your conf. This line indicates which IP address the Web Server will bind to. If you set it to 127.0.0.1, then Server will only respond if you reach to it through the IP 127.0.0.1, that is, you'll only be able to access it from localhost, though IPv4. (Your browser will probably prefer IPv6, with ::1 being the host)

Comment out the line (prepending a #) in order to have it listen to every IP the machine is called by.

If you can verify access from the host machine itself, but the above doesn't help, then you might want to check if your firewall is blocking requests.

Answer 2

With the settings you provided, make sure you're using this URL and trying to access the server from the same box: http://127.0.0.1:9000/sonar/

If you're attempting to reach http://127.0.0.1:9000/ and getting the empty page, it's due to the sonar.web.context value you're using.

Note: unless you're hosting SonarQube in an external webserver, you don't need to set the sonar.web.context, in which case, you would just go to http://127.0.0.1:9000/

If this URL isn't working for you, I would suggest looking at the SonarQube server logs in the /logs folder to determine if there were any errors starting the server. If so, you'll want to update this posting with the details from the log, including which operating system you're running.
