That’s definitely not on the “OS side”.
The reason of the issue could be connected to the JDK version.
As soon as I restored backup with SonarQube 9.8 and configured environment variables to point to openjdk version “11.0.13” service started successfully and web.log and all other log files were created. But when I changed environments to point to openjdk version “17.0.2” SonarQube 9.8 started and stopped after creating only two log files es.log and sonar.log with the same lines in sonar.log as before -

So we can assume that Web Server of SonarQube 9.9 failing to start on openjdk version “17.0.2” due to some unknown issue. What can I do to fix that?
