Background initialization failed. Stopping SonarQube

SonarQube Server / Community Build
5

Hi everyone,
I have the same error when I upgrade my Sonar Version.
My current version is : Developer Edition Version 8.9 (build 43852). With this version I dont get this exception.
But when I upgrade to version 8.9.1.44547 and start the service I get pretty much the same error like @mgoutah

From another thread SonarQube fails to start I took the advice to delete data/es7 and restart. But since the exception in that case wasn’t exactly the same as my exception, it didn’t help.

Here is my log:

2021.06.30 10:30:17 WARN  web[][o.s.p.ProcessEntryPoint$HardStopperThread] Can not stop in 1000ms

Usually the upgrade goes pretty smoothly but in this case I can’t rund SonarQube.
My ugrade routine is:

  1. Stop old SonarQube Service
  2. Delete SonarQube Service
  3. Recreate SonarQube Service with path to my new sonar_home, including updatet sonar.properties and wrapper.conf
  4. run bin/windows-x86-64/StartNTService as admin

@mgoutah What exactly did you do ?
@ganncamp Is there anything that I can do further to eliminate this exception ? Do you need more info/logs ?

Thanks for any help in advance
Cheers
