Sonarqube Enterprise Server upgrade

Currently on v2025.2 and trying to upgrade to 2025.4.1 using zip deployment. The new version fires up and all looks good but I am getting a log message saying the database needs to upgraded manually and I cannot find any articles regarding this let alone a script or instructions. The link in the error message gives a 404.

2025.08.07 14:09:06 WARN app[startup] The database must be manually upgraded. Please backup the database and browse /setup. For more information: https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/2025.4/server-upgrade-and-maintenance/upgrade/upgrade-the-server/roadmap

I would happily upgrade to 2025.3.x but cannot find a download link for this.

Any help appreciated.

We’ll ensure a redirect is implemented. In the meantime, please follow the instructions in the log message:

Visit http://yourSonarQubeServerURL/setup and complete the setup process by clicking the button :slight_smile:

Also, I’d suggest you target v2025.4.2, the latest patch version. Not v2025.4.1.
