Sonar 4.2: logback.xml does not exist - sonarqube

Question

I upgraded Sonar to 4.2, but not it fails to start with the following errors. I'm not sure what the roll of logback.xml is, exactly. From what I can tell it's a configuration for logging that replaces similar configs from sonar.properties, but that's sure speculation. I can't find a sample logback.xml anywhere.

Answer 1

Stacktrace shows that version 4.0 is still used (search for "sonar-core-4.0.jar"). Distribution of v4.2 was probably unzipped in the existing directory of v4.0 but not in a fresh dir.
