Hi,

The error is telling you that SonarQube somehow is running as root. It’s not clear to me how you’re starting SonarQube. You’ll need to make sure you’re executing the start script as the user you created.

 
HTH,
Ann

I have created a local user as Sonar but still getting the same error

Hi @smart_admin

can you please:

  • stop sonarqube
  • restart the complete vm/system
  • change the ownership of the sonarqube installation to the user that should execute it with:
    sudo chown -R vnext: /opt/sonarqube
  • start sonarqube with the following command:
    sudo su -c '/opt/sonarqube/bin/linux-x86-64/sonar.sh start' vnext

and if sonarqube is crashing again, please post the whole log file of es.log, web.log and sonar.log
