ESonar server does not start up

Question

First time I am using SonarQube and after integration with eclipse, I start the sonarserver but I am getting the below error.

Error:

Answer 1

First try to find out that specific port and stop it as it has not stopped gracefully.

netstat -a -o -n
taskkill /F /PID <port> #cmd command to stat and kill the process

If not sure then go to the

conf->server.propeties

and change the sonar.search.port

Answer 2

Sometimes SonarQube doesn't launch after several start/shutdown cycles and reports that couldn't make the "bind". For me, going to the "Task Manager" and close all the Java processes solves the problem. It happens that somehow after closing the SonarQube console, something about that process is still running in the background and causes to block the ports to be used by SonarQube.
