Sonarqube service is active on server but URL is not working on browser

What do the logs say?

[Anji]

Logs,

Service is getting active for few secs and if then im checking status is again failed,

[Colin]

@Anji

Logs,

That looks like the sonar.log file. What about the others in the /logs/ directory, like es.log?

[Anji]

es.log

nohup.log

web.log

[Colin]

Well, it looks like a couple things are going on:

• Something is already running on port 9000 (you can adjust what port SonarQube runs on in your conf/sonar.properties file. This aligns with the screenshot you shared earlier.
• Your user may not have permissions to all subdirectories of the SonarQube installation folder. A chown -R should help here.
• You’re trying to run as a root user, which is not allowed.

[Anji]

Thats what im getting now, if im switching the user to sonar

How to resolve this now?

[Colin]

It looks like the operation to change permissions failed – proably because your user doesn’t have permissions. You might need to sudo this one (the permissions change, not running SonarQube).

[Anji]

Yes that worked for changing the permission but still cant access the URL.

Now the Logs are:
web.log

es.log

nohup.log

sonar.log

[Colin]

Looks like we’re back here.

I tried with port 443 but its not working with that as well
Also 9000 port is open what i see on server but when im checking online its closed,

[Colin]

On Linux systems, typically all ports below 1024 cannot be listened on by programs executed by non-root users

[Anji]

It wasn’t happened on the previous server I did but cant now execute as a root user?
