Upgrade SonarQube issues

Question

I'm having issues installing my instance of SonarQube 4.4 to 5.1.

The instructions say to stop the SonarQube server, match up a couple files (back up DB, copy plugins, etc.), and then restart the sonar server for the updated version.

My problem is I'm not sure how to start/stop the server. The commands:

bin/<SYSTEM>/sonar stop

and

NEW_SONARQUBE_HOME/bin/<SYSTEM>/sonar start

aren't recognized. Here is what the file location looks like and this is the error I get when I StartSonar on the new instance.

When I start from the 5.1 When I start from the 4.4

Error in sonar log. I'm using port 9000 so I'm not sure why it's trying to get 9001

How do I stop/start the SonarQube web server and proceed with the upgrade?

Answer 1

On Windows, the scripts are indeed different:

• if you haven't installed SonarQube as a service, you should read "Running SonarQube as a Service on Windows" to know how to start and stop

• if not, then:

  • to start SonarQube, you have to execute the "StartSonar.bat" script: this will open a Command window

  • to stop SonarQube, just close the window that was opened

The difference between SQ 4.4 and SQ 5.1 is that in most recent versions, when you start SonarQube, it creates 3 different processes:

• 1 for the Web server (port 9000)
• 1 for Elasticsearch (port 9001)
• and 1 to monitor the previous 2 ones

So what happens in your log (Address already in use: bind) is clear: you have a running process of Elasticsearch. So to fix your problem:

• Open Windows task manager
• Kill all the Java processes
• Restart SQ

Answer 2

The new sonar needs two ports, 9000 for the web server and 9001 for search something. However, in most of the tutorials 9001 is not mentioned.

There is a clash for Universal Media Server which by default starts a web server at port 9001.

You should change one of the ports, however the port used for sonar search should not be public!
