Phabricator git command not found

Question

I have followed Phabricator installation & configuration guides: http://www.phabricator.com/docs/phabricator/article/Installation_Guide.html http://www.phabricator.com/docs/phabricator/article/Configuration_Guide.html

When I navigate to http://localhost to do final setup I get this message that says it can not find git command (there is also warning that "warn pcntl is not available!":

[WARN] You have not configured 'security.alternate-file-domain'. This makes your installation vulnerable to attack. Make sure you read the documentation for this parameter and understand the consequences of leaving it unconfigured.
 okay  $PATH is nonempty.
[OKAY] Core configuration OKAY.

I also want to mention that I have git and I can run it without problems from terminal.

Answer 1

I have solved it.

The problem was in missing pcntl extension in PH. I had to compile it from source (as described here: http://blog.lancerushing.com/2011/02/getting-phps-pcntl-working-on-snow.html).

Answer 2

Find the user which your web server is running on, and find out if git is included in the path environment variable of that user.
