ERROR: Unable to load libphutil

Question

We have setup running Phabricator in one of our servers. Today I upgrade it by following the standard steps given in "https://secure.phabricator.com/book/phabricator/article/upgrading/" upgrade note.

When I try to start pdh using systemctl start phabricator-phd it get fails.

Error is

ERROR: Unable to load libphutil. Update your PHP 'include_path' to include the parent directory of libphutil/.

I tried other different way to start it but all of the giving this same error. Hope someone can help me to solve this issue.

Answer 1

Typically phd is restarted via bin/phd restart. Does this work? If yes, then the issue is your startup script. If no, then Phabricator likely wasn't installed correctly.

Answer 2

Fixed. It was a permission issue. below fixed it.

chmod g+rX,o+rX libphutil/ -Rc
chmod g+rX,o+rX arcanist/ -Rc
chmod g+rX,o+rX phabricator/ -Rc

Answer 3

I have met the same problem.One way to solve: just put libphutil, arcanist, phabricator(the websever started) on same path

Answer 4

in the folder where arcanist/ is

git clone https://github.com/phacility/libphutil.git

This solved my problem.

Answer 5

Using git clone https://github.com/phacility/libphutil.git like @Youngjae Ji recommends doesn't work anymore. Take a look at that repo now. There's nothing in it! https://github.com/phacility/libphutil. A work-around seems to be the following, however:

sudo apt install libphutil then dpkg -L libphutil to see where it's located on your system. Once you find out where it is (ex: /usr/share/libphutil), symbolically link to it in arcanist as follows: ln -s /usr/share/libphutil path_to_arcanist/externals/includes. Now it should work.
