Description Eugen Neu 2004-04-06 00:44:49 UTC

Hi,
I have to connect to a Oracle Database through Apache/PHP.  To do so I have to set some environmet variables.  In the start() function (/etc/init.d/apache2) you start the daemon in an empty environment (env -i) and don't read /usr/lib/apache2/build/envvars after that.  I haven't found another place where I can change the env for apache2. When you search google for setting env in apache2, it mostly points to envvars. I think it would be a good idea to consider this.

Created attachment 28776 [details, diff]
Patch for Apache2 init script, to use environement variables.

This small patch is for /etc/init.d/apache, it allow to use /etc/env.d/apache
to store  environement variables.
I don't know if it's the right thing to do.but it sounds ok to me.
