Hi,

Welcome to the community!

I think the message is pretty clear

SonarQube doesn’t have access to its own log files & can’t start up without that.

Hi,

This is a file system permissions issue. It’s been years since I used Windows, but I think you’ll start with a right-click on the directory in question and choose… “Permissions”(?)

You should assign read & write permissions to the SonarQube folder for the account under which you are running command prompt when you are trying to run StartSonar.bat.
