Issues upgrading from sonarqube 7.7 to 7.9.6

Hi,

I am looking to upgrade our sonarqube instance from version 7.7 to 7.9.6 before going to 8.9.

i have copied across the conf files for wrapper.conf and sonar.properties along with using openjdk11 and starting sonarqube in console mode.

logs below show sonarqube has started but in maintenance mode please advise?

Thanks,
matthew

-bash-4.2$ cd /opt/sonarqube/sonarqube-7.9.6/bin/linux-x86-64/
-bash-4.2$ ./sonar.sh console

Hi @mattymcn95 ,

Welcome to SonarSource community! :sonarsource:

You are upgrading SonarQube from an old version to a new version, which implies a database migration must occur. This means you need to back up your database, go to the browser (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge, etc.) and type in https://$SONARQUBE-HOSTNAME/setup address where $SONARQUBE-HOSTNAME is your SonarQube URL. Then the DB migration/upgrade will begin.
