Phabricator installation problem " FATAL ERROR: Unable to load the "Arcanist" library. Put "arcanist/" next to "phabricator/" on disk."

Question

I'm trying to install Phabricator with that documentation: https://websiteforstudents.com/install-phabricator-platform-on-ubuntu-16-04-18-04-with-apache2-mariadb-and-php-7-2

When i use "sudo ./bin/config set mysql.host localhost" command there was a error:

FATAL ERROR: Unable to load the "Arcanist" library. Put "arcanist/" next to "phabricator/" on disk.

Any solution?

Answer 1

It looks like the most recent git commit is missing some critical files from the arcanist directory.

I downloaded commit 26f853b from 2 days ago (26f853b6343083c3ddfb6a393843edb20248ee71.zip) from here and the script ran through. I haven't tested if phabricator actually works with it however.

You might want to submit a bugreport.

Answer 2

I've received the same fatal when tried to upgrade the Phabricator via update script.

I did manual update in the path in

./phabricator/scripts/init/lib.php

from

"arcanist/scripts/init/init-script.php" 

to

"arcanist/support/init/init-script.php"

after which the update script passed and storage upgrade was ok.

Maybe there was a typo and the "scripts" in the path should be "support".
