I’m trying to start sonarqube 7.5 as service as shown in the paragraph " Running SonarQube as a Service on Linux with initd" of the documentation page but when the service starts I got this error: 2019.01.21 15:49:52 ERROR es[][o.e.b.Bootstrap] Exception java.lang.RuntimeException: can not run elas…

Hi, This error is caused by trying to run the service as root can not run elasticsearch as root You should be able to run as any non-root user. Ann

I know the cause of the error but I don’t know how to start sonarqube as a service, as I followed the official guide and It’s not working as I got this error!

Hi, Could you pinpoint which set of instructions you used? The ones for SystemD do include using an alternate user. Thx, Ann

I used the one with initd as I said in my original question

Hi, We’re reviewing this section of the documentation. In the meantime, you should try to switch to the SystemD method. Ann
