Hi,

What user is running SonarQube?

 
Ann

4

Not running on root. created seperate user sonarqube and running from that.
Sonarqube user was in sudoers. I have removed that too.

Hi,

Okay. We’re on to the next error now:

 
HTH,
Ann

hi Thanks,
Errors resolved now.
Added with that, I had re-do for Postgres user creation, Granting access and updating the same details in sonar.conf
This cleared the error
