Sonar started but builds are failing

Question

My Sonarqube 5.1 instance says it's started but my builds keep failing. This may have something to do with Sonar Search not starting properly:

Or this error, which is still a problem even though I've updated to sonar-java-plugin-3.3:

I'm running Sonar as a service and I restarted it thinking it would pick up the new plugin but it hasn't.

How do I restart Sonar properly in order for it to pick up the file changes?

Answer 1

Elastic search is not stopped properly. you can remove the process running the port 9001 and try to start sonar again. it will work. to kill the process on 9001 you can try the following command. sudo lsof -t -i:9001 --- it will list all the process running on the port 9001. then you can try **sudo kill sudo lsof -t -i:9001** ---this command will kill all the process on 9001.

Answer 2

The error that you can read in SonarQube logs is clear:

Address already in use: bind

Please read my answer on Upgrade SonarQube issues to know what happens and what to do.

Answer 3

I suppose you are running SonarQube under Windows.

Are you able to launch SonarQube as a service, from the Windows Services screen? If yes, are you able to open Sonar dashboard (without launching any analysis) and have the SonarQube service still up?
