SonarQube cannot start with MariaDB 10

Question

I installed MariaDB with yum in CentOS 7.

SonarQube throws this exception:

org.sonar.api.utils.MessageException: Unsupported mysql version: 5.5. Mini         


        

Answer 1

MariaDB is not supported by SonarQube, see requirements.

Answer 2

Like Nicolas said, MariaDB is not supported by SonarQube - still in v7.

The Solution to run SonarQube in combination with XAMPP is to change the database from MariaDB to MySQL. Here you'll find the steps for changing it:
