Sonar Installation problem - sonarqube

Question

Information about Installation
Using embedded database Derbis
Problem :
I run bin/windows-x86-32/StartSonar.bat and then click http://localhost:9000
On clicking this, I get the following error:
We're sorry, but something went wrong.
Please try back in a few minutes and contact support if the problem persists.

Do you know what to do with that error message.

Answer 1

I usually get that message when the database isn't correctly set (either the local has an issue, in which case I try a fresh installation).
Or the mysql database you can associate has an issue (wrong 'sonar.jdbc.username' or 'sonar.jdbc.password' in sonar.properties file.).
Or the default port for the embedded database (jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/sonar;create=true) isn't available on your server/workstation.
If you are using a Mysql database (not your case), you need to create it first:
mysql [localhost] {root} ((none)) > CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS sonar CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)
mysql [localhost] {root} ((none)) > grant all privileges on sonar.* to 'sonar'#'localhost' identified by 'sonar';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql [localhost] {root} ((none)) > flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Answer 2

http://localhost:9000/setup will initialize the database and correct this error

Answer 3

Check the sonar log file for finding the issue you are facing. find out the error form the log file and try to solve it.
cheers..!

Answer 4

My OS is Mac.
If the version of sonar is 6.x, please try to run the follow steps:
Check the log: /Users/test/Downloads/sonarqube-6.0/logs/sonar.log
Whether it have the ERROR: “zh-CN” is not a valid locale or “en” is not a valid locale
Please run the command: gem uninstall -i /Users/test/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.0 i18n
The version of Ruby is your default ruby.
