Question

I have unzipped the sonar(code review tool) and started by executing batch file on win 7 64 bit
when m hitting the url in mozilla :http://localhost:9000 m getting following error

Application initialization failed: no !/ in spec
from file:/D:/#Software/sonar-2.9/war/sonar-server/WEB-INF/lib/jruby-rack-1.0.0.1.jar!/vendor/rack.rb:7:in (root)'

from file:/D:/#Software/sonar-2.9/war/sonar-server/WEB-INF/lib/jruby-rack-1.0.0.1.jar!/jruby/rack/boot/rack.rb:1:in `(root)’

is it the right procedure to install the sonar or do i need anything else to do.?

Answer 1

A Sonar installation for evaluation purposes (without enterprise database) is very easy. It worked for me as described in the 2 minutes tutorial. Have a look at the requirements – you need Java of course.

This is the instruction:

1. Download and unzip the distribution.
   (Do not install the application in a directory starting with a digit.

2. Execute on Windows:
   bin\windows-x86-32\StartSonar.bat
   or on other platforms:
   bin/[OS]/sonar.sh console

3. Execute the following commands on your Maven projects:
   mvn clean install
mvn sonar:sonar

4. Browse to http://localhost:9000

5. For administration features, default login/password is admin/admin.
