Git Server Setup using Apache 2.2 on Windows 7

Question

Environment Windows 7 64-bit

Software Git 2.10, Apache 2.2, Python 3.3.5, Strawberry Perl 5.24, Libgti2 0.22, Open LDAP

Git Server setup has been done. The httpdf.config file from Apache 2.2 has config entry

ScriptAlias "/git" "../interceptor.pl

After a few validations, the Perl script calls httpbackend using code system(path to httpbackend)

With this, git is supposed to execute pre-receive and post-receive hooks in bash.

But I am getting getting error
