Hi Pardha,

Two things here:

First you need to check your server logs, specifically es.log to see what it says.

Second, SonarQube needs full permissions, recursive, to its directory. The permission denied errors you’ve shown indicate that’s not the case.

Hi Ann,

Thanks for the update, below is the error I can see in es.log. Could you please help

Hi,

What does that mean to you?

Sorry I didn’t get you, from error I mean elasticsearch can’t run as root. I tried with sonar user still I am facing the error, May be I am missing something here.

Hi Pardha,

The error indicates that SonarQube is being run as root. You’ll need to correct that.
