A fatal error has occurred when i am starting Bitbucket server 5.1.0

[Maxim Shesterkin]

The error that i see:

• The following problem occurred, which prevents Atlassian Bitbucket from starting: You are using Git 1.9.1. The minimum supported version is 2.2.0. Upgrade to Git 2.2.0+ and restart Bitbucket.

I have already updated Git to 2.13.0 and restarted Bitbucket, but the error is not disappeared.

What is the problem?

Thank you.

Hi Maxim,

Is the newer version of git installed in a location that's in $PATH, and is that version the first one found in $PATH?

If you have the newer version of git in a different location, you can force Bitbucket Server to use that one instead. Just add the plugin.bitbucket-git.path.executable property to Bitbucket Server's configuration and restart Bitbucket Server.

Cheers,

Hi Christian,

I have the newest version of git on my linux server it located in usr/bin/git

Did I understand correctly that I need to create a plugin.bitbucket-git.path.executable file in /opt/atlassian/bitbucket/5.1.0/bin or /var/atlassian/application-data/bitbucket/shared/config

Hi Maxim,

You'll need to add the plugin.bitbucket-git.path.executable entry in the bitbucket.properties file and point that entry to the location of the git executable. More details on that are in the documentation I linked to above.
