Can't launch sonar 2.8 (permission denied to execute wrapper )

Question

I'm new to Sonar, and i was trying to install Sonar 2.8 on my server (Linux 64 on HP-UX)

When i tried to launch it (sonar.sh start) i got the following message

[myHomeDirectory]/sonar/2.8/bin/linux-x86-64/./wrapper: Execute permission denied.

what drives me crazy is that i've putthe whole package on 777 permissions, so i really don't understand what's exactly happening.

Can anyone help with this please ?

Thanks in advance !

Answer 1

I finally came out with the conclusion that the binary file (wrapper) is simply not compiled to run under HP-UX

when launching a file command on wrapper under a Linux i get : <ELF-64 executable object file> which doesn't match the <ELF-64 executable object file - IA64> required by HP-UX running on a Itanium processor

I hit a similar issue hence why I came to this post. I was attempting to install SonarQube's scanner in a Docker container but when I was running it, I was getting something along the lines of:

/root/sonar-scanner-2.6.1/bin//sonar-scanner: 103: exec: : Permission denied

I had given the whole /root/ folder all permissions so I was curious about the permission denied. In the end for me it wasn't anything to do with permissions. I simply needed to RTFM.

Sonar-scanner needs a JRE to run and my Docker container didn't have one installed. So if anyone else does the same thing as me, I hope this saves you a few minutes of head scratching.

Not really convinced in the way you are launching it. To get Sonar running I recommend running it on tomcat, providing you just want to use the default database that comes with Sonar. The steps would be:

• Install Tomcat

• Navigate to your /war directory within your sonar instance and run the command: $] ./build-war.sh.

When this finishes you should see a sonar.war file in the same directory.

• Rename the war file ROOT.war instead of sonar.war: $] mv sonar.war ROOT.war

This ensures that sonar runs on tomcat's default port.

• Move the war file into the tomcat webapps directory: $] mv ROOT.war /tomcathome/webapps

• Navigate to the tomcat /bin folder and run the command $] ./catalina.sh start

• Type your server hostname in your browser with a port :8080 at the end and you should see sonar running.

These steps will have sonar running on the default database, though. If you want a MySQL database i'd look at sonar tutorials on how to do that.

Please check if you have java installed on the machine. Java should be installed on the machine before running sonar-runner.

Use this to check java : java -version
