DO NOT REPLY [Bug 46083] New: ENV Not Transitioned
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46083
Summary: ENV Not Transitioned
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.2.3
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: mod_env
AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
ReportedBy: jonathansteffan@gmail.com
Due to apache needing to bind to port 80, the original context of httpd is
"root". However, after the transition to the configured user (i.e. "httpd") the
$HOME variable is not reset to the target user.
This has a negative effect on software that expects $HOME to source data. A
current example is the use of pysvn. When mod_python attempts to use pysvn for
a https target, the certificate needs to be accepted and noted in
$HOME/.subversion/auth ... if this is not available, svn actions fail.
A current workaround is to set the following:
SetEnv HOME /expected/path/to/home

Notabug. The apache user shouldn't normally have a home directory. If an
application such as pysvn expects one, that's for the sysop to deal with, as
you have.
