Hi, I am using SonarQube Community edition version 8.4.1.35646. I have also installed jdk 11 and added java 11 path to wrapper.conf file: wrapper.java.command=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11\bin\java I am unable to launch SonarQube server. It gives me following error: D:\sonarqube-8.4.1.35646\sonarqube-8.4.1.35646\bin\windows-x86-64\>StartSonar.bat wrapper | --\> Wrapper Started as Console wrapper | Launching a JVM… jvm 1 | Wrapper (Version 3.2.3) [http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org](http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org) jvm 1 | Copyright 1999-2006 Tanuki Software, Inc.

Hi Pratiti, This seems to be your first message in the SonarSource Community! Welcome! Looks like your SonarQube’s web server is not able to start. Can you please share the full logs in your $SONARQUBE\_HOME/logs folder: web.log, es.log and ce.log? Regards, Daniel ---

Hi Daniel, Thanks for quick response! I have not defined any system environment $SONARQUBE\_HOME variable for now. My SonarQube is placed at following path: D:\sonarqube-8.4.1.35646\sonarqube-8.4.1.35646 PFA logs as requested: [es.log](https://community.sonarsource.com/uploads/short-url/nRRDaBaaVYl8gN0Dl2H6f0oK6M4.log) (3.5 KB) [sonar.log](https://community.sonarsource.com/uploads/short-url/2woo4UmXXFGjJXRsXVv92wlMZMf.log) (3.0 KB) [web.log](https://community.sonarsource.com/uploads/short-url/84hMzUKQj3nTrNkui2Qn8gYKmFe.log) (2.3 KB) Any suggestion would be of great help! ---

Hi Pratiti, Checking your web.log file, we can see the following error: > 2020.07.24 19:56:45 ERROR web[o.s.s.a.EmbeddedTomcat] Fail to start web server > org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to initialize connector [Connector[HTTP/1.1-9000]] > at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.initInternal(StandardService.java:559) > at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.init(LifecycleBase.java:136) > … It seems like another process is running on port 9000. You can either check which and stop it before you launch SonarQube, or change the port that SonarQube’s web process will use with the `sonar.web.port` property in your configuration file under D:\sonarqube-8.4.1.35646\sonarqube-8.4.1.35646\conf\sonar.properties file. Then launch SonarQube again and use that new port to connect on the browser. As a side note, when we say $SONARQUBE\_HOME, this is just a way to refer to the root folder of your SonarQube installation. ---

Great Thanks Daniel! This seems to be working. I checked and found that port 9000 is being used by some admin process. I changed the port to 9002 in sonar.properties file. sonar.web.port=9002 Just one small question. Is it okay to use port 9002 or should I use any other port? ---

Hi Pratiti, You are welcome! The port you choose is completely up to you. Best regards, Daniel
