Git was not found on the PATH for Bitbucket

[JordanMaxim]

Hi,

I am currently in the process of Installing Bitbucket Server on our Windows Server 2012 R2 machine.

I have installed Git 2.6.3-64-bit and installed Bitbucket-4.1.0-x64.

I have installed Git in our "D:\Development\Git" directory

Bitbucket is installed in "D:\BitBucket" and the Bitbucket data directory is "D:\BitBucket_ApplicationData".

I am getting the error message "Git was not found on the PATH for Bitbucket. Install Git 1.8.0+, excluding 1.8.4.3, 2.0.2, 2.0.3, and restart Bitbucket."

I have seen that you can tell Bitbucket where the Git binary files are in the bitbucket.properties file.

I have then saved this file in the "D:\Development\BitBucket_ApplicationData\shared\bitbucket.properties" directory.

What am I missing???

Thanks

Jordan

Can you check your System Variables if git is there? Try opening a dos prompt console and type "git" to test.

If you're on windows, you may need to add git's home directory to your path (for the user that will run bitbucket)

I found that the installation created a new user called 'atlbitbucket' and used this as the 'AtlassianBitbucket' service user. This user does not have Git either in it's path or indeed installed. I have set up a new bitbucket user, installed Git for them and then set them as the logon for the service and all now works.
