Sonarqube ran but gave me no output

SonarQube Server / Community Build Product Manager for a Day

I am using sonarqube community for the first time so I am likely doing something wrong. I did this on windows with mostly c++ and c code. I ran the following from the directory I have the source code:

C:\mypath\bin\sonar-scanner.bat -D"sonar.projectKey=localPTI" -D"sonar.sources=." -D"sonar.host.url=http://localhost:9000" -D"sonar.token=sqp_09dc576a7168b1225961a2175b22688cbfad3cdb" sonar.scm.disabled=true.

This ran but gave me:

Do you have any guidance to what I am doing wrong? It found the code but did’t analyze this.

Hi Jeff,

Scanning C & C++ is only supported starting from SonarQube Server Developer Edition - Languages overview | SonarQube Server Documentation

Thanks,

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. I downloaded SonarQube Server Developer Edition and got this on startup:C:\data\sonarqube-2025.3.0.108892\bin\windows-x86-64>StartSonar.bat

I am running openjdk version “17.0.15” 2025-04-15 LTS and postGres. I modified the sonar.properties files for postgres. Can figure out this error.

Do you see any issues in your server logs?
