I have followed https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/setup/upgrading/ and https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/setup/upgrade-notes/
I tried upgrading directly from 7.3 to 7.9.1 LTS, hope there isn’t any LTS in between ?
SonarQube is running as a service, and I have replaced 7.3 to 7.9.1 in the etc/systemd/system/sonarqube.service file
The errors when I try starting up the new server are:
shakir@sonarQubeServer:~$ sudo systemctl start sonarqube
shakir@sonarQubeServer:~$ sudo systemctl status sonarqube.service
