Verify SonarQube Server is Running
Step 1: Check SonarQube Process
First, ensure that the SonarQube server is running. You can do this by checking the process list on your system.
On Windows
Open the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and look for a process named wrapper.exe or sonarqube.exe.
On Linux
Open a terminal and run the following command:
ps aux | grep sonarqube
If you don't see the SonarQube process running, start it by following the official SonarQube documentation.
Step 2: Verify Server Port
By default, SonarQube runs on port 9000. Verify that the server is listening on this port.
On Windows
Open the Command Prompt and run the following command:
netstat -an | findstr :9000
On Linux
Open a terminal and run the following command:
netstat -tuln | grep :9000
If the server is not listening on port 9000, check the SonarQube configuration and ensure the correct port is set.
Check Firewall and Network Configuration
Step 1: Disable Firewall Temporarily
Sometimes, the firewall on your system may block incoming connections to the SonarQube server. Try disabling the firewall temporarily to check if it's causing the issue.
On Windows
Open the Control Panel, navigate to System and Security > Windows Defender Firewall, and click on "Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off."
On Linux
Check your distribution's documentation on how to disable the firewall temporarily.
Step 2: Test Connection
After disabling the firewall, try connecting to the SonarQube server again at http://localhost:9000. If the connection is successful, add an exception for SonarQube in your firewall settings and re-enable the firewall.
Inspect SonarQube Logs
SonarQube logs can provide valuable information on why the server might be experiencing issues. The logs are located in the logs folder of your SonarQube installation directory.
Check the web.log, es.log, and ce.log files for any error messages or stack traces that might hint at the issue.
Validate SonarQube Configuration
Ensure that your SonarQube configuration is correct. The main configuration file is sonar.properties located in the conf folder of your SonarQube installation directory.
- Verify that the
sonar.web.hostandsonar.web.portproperties are set correctly. - Ensure that the database connection settings are correct.
For more information on configuring SonarQube, refer to the official documentation.
