I have zero knowledge of SonarQube. I am installing it for the first time.
I have installed Postgresql14 using the following link.
I installed it offline due to that I am in a BLACKSITE.
I’m in step 5 of that link.
I have created the sonar.service file and placed everything that I am seeing.
When I try to enable the service, I am getting the following error.
Process ###### ExecStart=/opt/sonarqube/bin/linux-x86-64/sonar.sh start (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)
I changed some of the stuff inside the sonar.service file.
I run the enable again on the sonar.service and I am getting a differ error.
(code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
Another issue I was having is, the instructions is asking to edit the sonar.sh file and set RUN_AS_USER=sonar.
That entry does not exist, and I am not certain where I need to add it in the .sh file.
Sorry for the late response.
Let’s start over.
With that link you shared in mind, how do I install Sonarqube with the version that is on that link, to RHEL 8. Also, this RHEL 8 vm is offline and has no access to the postgres repo.
I am restarting the installation from the beginning.
You’re referring to nearly 2-year old unofficial documentation, not related to the version of SonarQube released a month or two ago.
We don’t recommend trying to use RUN_AS_USER – if you want to start SonarQube with another user account, we suggest setting up SonarQube as a service, or using sudo – something like sudo -u sonar <sonarqubeHome>/bin/linux-x86-64/sonar.sh start
So I excluded the “RUN_AS_USER” from the instructions and I followed the rest of the instructions to edit the sonar.sh file.
Now I am having some trouble with the java. I know my java is not located in /opt/java.
I did a locate on java and I put every single output onto the sonar.sh file.
None of them worked. I put them in the file one at a time.
I made sure to disable, stop, and daemon-reload before I edited the file.
Each time, it failed.
I looked and noticed that I do have two differ java versions.
java-1.8.0-openjdk
java-11-openjdk
With this in mind, what am I supposed to put in the sonar.sh file as the path to java?
So after careful reading, I noticed that I cannot run sonarqube as a service due to having more than one java installed.
By using “update-alternative --config java” I pointed the java version to the correct java that sonarqube requires.
I manually started sonarqube and that seems to start properly.
I did make sure to start the service as “sonar”.
The output I get is:
/usr/bin/java
Staring SonarQube…
Started SonarQube.
I tried to bring up SonarQube on the browser but nothing seems to be happening.
Any suggestions?
I just saw my mistake. I was still running java 11 for the version of sonarqube I had. I did download the most current version and I just updated java to 17.
The gui is now up. I just have to put in our licensing information.
Thank you Colin for your help. I think just giving me that updated document helped me troubleshoot the rest on my own.
