Sonarqube Server First Time Setup Issues

Must-share information (formatted with Markdown):

  • SonarQube Server (Developer): sonarqube-2026.1.0.119033
  • Deployed: .zip
  • Goal: Startup Server
  • Tried so Far: Followed documentation, referenced other forum posts

Hello,

I am trying to get SonarQube server running locally on my machine. I need it to run analysis on one C codebase I have. When trying to get the server started, I followed the instructions provided in the documentation here: Basic installation | SonarQube Server | Sonar Documentation

I do not have a database setup and did not customize the sonar.properties file other than specifying the data and temp filepaths. I am running on a windows system. The logs reference a Java exception. What am I doing wrong?

Below are logs:

es.log (17.4 KB)

web.log (48.1 KB)

sonar.log (2.2 KB)

Thank you,
Levi

Putting this here for anyone else running into the same issue. I managed to get it working. There were a few things I did but I don’t know which one fixed it.

First, I increased the RAM on my laptop from 16GB to 32GB. After that, I realized I only had 9GB of flash memory remaining to so I deleted space. I extracted the .zip file with WinRAR and then re-installed this version of java: OpenJDK21U-jdk_x64_windows_hotspot_21.0.10_7 .msi.

This fixed the issues.

Good luck everyone!
