Not able to start Sonar Server

Question

I am using Sonar to generate code review reports of my project. But I am not able to start the server. I am getting

HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

while running

StartSonar.bat

file.

Please find the logs generated while sonar start up.

How can I solve this issue ? Any idea/solution appreciated.

Answer 1

I got the solution from sonar log files itself. You can find server start up logs in the sonar.log file under directory "sonarqube-4.5\logs".

I was not able to start the server due to following port binding exception :

2015.07.29 02:46:36 ERROR web[o.a.c.h.Http11Protocol]  Failed to initialize end point associated with ProtocolHandler ["http-bio-0.0.0.0-9000"]
java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind /0.0.0.0:9000
    at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint.bind(JIoEndpoint.java:411) ~[tomcat-embed-core-7.0.54.jar:7.0.54]
    at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.AbstractEndpoint.init(AbstractEndpoint.java:640) ~[tomcat-embed-core-7.0.54.jar:7.0.54]
    at org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol.init(AbstractProtocol.java:434) ~[tomcat-embed-core-7.0.54.jar:7.0.54]
    at org.apache.coyote.http11.AbstractHttp11JsseProtocol.init(AbstractHttp11JsseProtocol.java:119) [tomcat-embed-core-7.0.54.jar:7.0.54]

So, I changed the port number to "4950" from "9000" in sonar.properties file under directory "sonarqube-4.5\conf".

# TCP port for incoming HTTP connections. Disabled when value is -1.
sonar.web.port=4950

# TCP port for incoming HTTPS connections. Disabled when value is -1 (default).
#sonar.web.https.port=-1

The server got successfully started after changing the port number.
