Diagnosis
Perform the following steps with the user that will run Bitbucket Server:
git --version cd $BITBUCKET_HOME/tmp git init git-perl-test cd git-perl-testCreate a new file
.git/hooks/pre-commitwith the following content:#!/usr/bin/env bash perl -v > .git/perl-versionMake sure the file is executable and create a commit to test that the Git hooks work and the Perl version is compatible:
chmod u+x .git/hooks/pre-commit echo test > temp git add -A -- git commit -m "Initial" cat .git/perl-version
For reference, an output similar to the following is expected:
kraken:~ mheemskerk$ git --version
git version 1.7.10.2 (Apple Git-33)
kraken:tmp mheemskerk$ cd $BITBUCKET_HOME/tmp
kraken:tmp mheemskerk$ git init git-perl-test

There are two possible causes for this behavior:
$BITBUCKET_HOMEis mounted over NFS with the "noexec" option and thus no hooks can be executed.- Perl has been upgraded after the Git installation.
Resolution
According to the causes, there are two solutions:
- Remove the NFS "noexec" option and remount.
- Recompile Git with the newer version of Perl.
