Can you help with setting Apache environmental variables?
]
Answer #2
Joliver,
thanks for the quick reply.
Actually experimenting further I found that I could set the environment variables using the .htaccess file in the main htdocs directory, but not in the cgi-bin subdirectory. Thus my PHP scripts are able to access the environmental variables but not my Perl scripts. This is very strange, since as understand it (and I’m no Apache expert), the dictates in .htaccess should be recursive; i.e. they should be picked up by the cgi-bin subdirectory.
Anyway I’ve got round the problem by hard coding the database username and password into the Perl script; thus avoiding the need to reference the environmental variables.
Thanks again.

Hello,
I hope this reply finds you well!
Unfortunately Apache environmental variables like that cannot be customized on our managed services.
However, we are in the process of launching a new unmanaged VPS product line that will allow you root access and the ability to customize Apache. For more information, please see the following link…
