[users@httpd] apache env vars - best practices
Hi all,
I've been setting custom env vars for Apache 1 of 2 ways;
1 - Changing the passwd file so Apache has a shell and loading a
custom .bashrc file.
2 - Using the SetEnv directive in my httpd.conf file.
I'm crazy about neither one as they both have limitations;
1 - I don't like giving Apache its own shell.
2 - The SetEnv directive only takes 2 args so if I have a var with
multiple values like a path, it won't work.
What's the cleanest way to set complex env vars for Apache?

Could be. Look in apachectl and see if it looks for an envvars file and
if so, where it looks for it. If so, you might be able to just create
one there.

/etc/sysconfig/httpd sourced by apachectl?

Hi Dan
Thanks for the reply.
I've done a search and no were on my Centos box do I see bin/envvars.
Its this because I have a distro'd installed version of APACHE vs from
source?
