Insufficient privileges while restarting server

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1

Must-share information (formatted with Markdown):

  • which versions are you using (SonarQube, Scanner, Plugin, and any relevant extension)

Currently on 8.5.1, upgrading to 8.9.10

  • what are you trying to achieve
    Trying to upgrade sonarqube

  • what have you tried so far to achieve this
    I have done the procedure given, copied the new installation files, changed the sonar.properties file, stopped the old server using the command <SONARQUBE_HOME>/bin/linux-x86-64/sonar.sh stop and started the new one.

But when I navigate to the web URL and click on ‘Restart Server’ and then restart it as follows, I get an error message ‘Insufficient Priveleges’.

Any idea on how to resolve this? Moreover, when I navigate to [Preformatted text](https://sonarqube.orgname.com/setup), I get the message

Database is up-to-date

What am I doing wrong here?

Trying to stop the new server using the command <SONARQUBE_HOME>/bin/linux-x86-64/sonar.sh stop, I get the message:

Gracefully stopping SonarQube...
SonarQube was not running.

What could be the case here? Why is it not starting?

Hi,

It’s not clear to me why you were trying to use a web link to restart the server during an upgrade. For future reference, those in-app links don’t do a full restart.

To start the server you would use a start command, rather than a stop command…

Sorry, I think I wasn’t that clear.

So first I use start command, then to check, I use thestop command. But then I get the message:

`Gracefully stopping SonarQube…

SonarQube was not running.`

This means that when I first used the start command, it did not start the server. Why was that the case?

Secondly, to do the upgrade, once I kill the old process, and start the new process, then what do I do? I have to go to https://sonarqube.orgname.com/setup, correct?

Hi,

How long did you wait between commands? And what do your server logs say?

Have you read the Upgrade Guide?

The time difference was a couple of minutes at most. I haven’t checked the server logs, will do and post them here.

And yes I have read the upgrade guide. It tell me to stop the old server, start the new one, and then go to https://sonarqube.orgname.com/setup.

But the issues are:

1- New server isn’t starting
2- The URL says ‘Database is up to date’.

Let me check the server logs.

Hi,

If the URL says anything, then something is starting (or perhaps your old server was never shut down).

I changed the sonar.web.port to 9002, and started the server. Now by checking the status, I get

SonarQube is running (38041)

But when I navigate to http://yourSonarQubeServerURL/setup I get the following page:

Moreover, the version being displayed on the bottom of the home page is still the old one.

Here are all the logs:

Hi,

I don’t know what to tell you. The logs you’ve shared indicate that a DB upgrade is needed. You should make sure you have only one instance running and/or that you’re navigating to the correct URL. Since you’ve changed the ports, it’s quite possible you have 2 instances running at once.

 
HTH,
Ann

I have stopped the old instance first before starting the new one.

Going through the process again, should I keep the port of the new instance the same as the old one and then navigate to the URL?

Since the old instance is stopped, the port should not be already occupied, correct?

Hi,

I knew this felt familiar. We appear to have two threads going about the same topic. I’m not going to give you different advice in this thread than I did in the other one.
