Installing Sonar with mysql: Version error

Question

I have a fresh win7 x64 installation. I want to install sonaqube with mysql. I installed mysql 5.5.32 version and Sonarqube 4.1.2 version. I created a new schema named sonar

Here is my config file:

sonar.jdbc.username=root
sonar.jdbc.password=
sonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sonar?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8&rewriteBatchedStatements=true

When I start bin/windows-x86-64/StartSonar.bat file , server starts but in browser I get the following error.

org.jruby.rack.RackInitializationException: ActiveRecord::JDBCError: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'NOT NULL) ENGINE=InnoDB CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin' at line 1: CREATE TABLE `schema_migrations` (`version` varchar NOT NULL) ENGINE=InnoDB CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin

Answer 1

I solved this error by changing my windows's Format setting and Locale settings to English and UK.

I know the error and solution dont seem related but this solved my problem.
