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 !

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.

  • Actually i did install it that way on other machines, i met this issue only on my HP-UX machine – mab Apr 02 '13 at 08:34

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

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
