Reinstalling SonarQube 7.9 LTS with Same MS SQL DB

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1

Currently I’m using SonarQube 7.9 LTS, Jenkins 2.0, using against .Net project having SonarQube for MSBuild 4.0.2 Version on Jenkins. Adopt JDK 11.

I have already installed SonarQube 7.9 LTS on Windows with MS SQL DB.

Unfortunately, I just realized that I have successfully installed the sonarqube on different Windows server host from the one it supposed to be installed.

I have copied the SonarQube 7.9 LTS and Jdk 11 from old windows to the new one.
Can I use the same Database MS SQL on which I have used earlier?

Must-share information (formatted with Markdown):

  • which versions are you using (SonarQube, Scanner, Plugin, and any relevant extension)
  • what are you trying to achieve
  • what have you tried so far to achieve this

Welcome :slight_smile:

All your settings are persisted in MSSQL database, the Sonarqube server is just the frontend.
So, no need to copy the whole Sonarqube Server filesystem.
Just start with a fresh installation and copy your $SONARQUBE_HOME/conf/sonar.properties
and additional plugins - if any, you need to copy to $SONARQUBE_HOME/extensions/plugins

Thank you for quick response Gilbert. I was able to install and startup the Server and sonarqube is functioning as usual. I searched up Web.log too, it is really fine as you said. Thank you.
