Sonarqube-7.9.1 HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

Question

I installed sonarqube-7.9.1 on my Ubuntu 18.04 machine. JAVA 11 is installed and Mysql used as database. Some important rows from sonar.properties are as follows

sonar.web.javaOpts=-Xmx1024m -Xms1024m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError
sonar.web.host=127.0.0.1
sonar.ce.javaOpts=-Xmx1024m -Xms1024m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

Sonarqube log file shows following lines

I was also getting the same issue of starting Sonarqube-7.9.1 with OpenJDK-11 because of the port conflicts. I tried changing port numbers and issue got resolved. Try replacing below lines in sonar.properties:

sonar.web.port=9004

sonar.search.port=9005

we can replace below lines also,already given in this question at the start [For me it worked without replacing below lines]:

sonar.web.javaOpts=-Xmx1024m -Xms1024m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

sonar.ce.javaOpts=-Xmx1024m -Xms1024m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

I believe SonarQube is not starting for any reason related to memory but rather from the fact that you attempt to connect to MySQL Database and this DB is not supported anymore (see "Release 7.9 LTS Upgrade Notes" at https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/setup/upgrade-notes/).

Have a look at web.log (see "Checking the logs" at https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/setup/troubleshooting/) to confirm it, you will find a clear message there.
