Answer 1

Go to: sonar-runner-2.3/conf/sonar-runner.properties
Uncomment the line: #sonar.host.url=http://localhost:9000
Replace localhost with your IP and save the file!
example:sonar.host.url=http://192.168.0.12:9000

Answer 2

Default port used by sonar is 9000,may be this has been used by some other application on your system.
Change your listening port in
sonarqube-4.2/conf/sonar.properties,
sonar-runner-2.3/conf/sonar-runner.properties
Restart sonar
sonarqube-4.2/bin/linux-x86-64/sonar.sh restart

Answer 3

I have same problem and found that I have installed my sql but forget to reset mysql password.
I found my mistake by accessing logs under /logs/access.log
So logs will surely help you to figure out problem.

Answer 4

This error is triggered by a SonarQube plugin that I'm not aware of : "kevinsawicki". I guess removing this plugin should fix your issue.
