Re: Change $PATH in apache

[Eddy Sturg <tride2009@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've tried that, it did not work.  To be clear - I'm starting apache with the apachectl script.  As root, I've adjusted my PATH, `which python` shows me that I'm pointing to the correct python.  Then I run apachectl start and I still get the same error.

I guess I need to get server-info working so that I can report on what the PATH is actually set to.  Unfortunately, I'm having a problem with that too.

I'll start a new thread since that is a different issue.

Thanks for the note, Igor.

Run those commands in terminal and start apache from the same terminal. To make it permanent add those line in the shell rc file for the user you are starting apache with.

Hey folks,

I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I've searched and read - all to no avail.

httpd-2.2.3-43.el5.centos.3
CentOS release 5.5 (Final)


And I've installed the current python from source in /opt/python

We're trying to run trac and svn which include some python scripts.  I'd really like to use the python that I've installed in /opt, but it appears that apache is using the default python /usr/bin/python.

So, I figured I'd just edit apachctl and add something like:

PATH=/opt/python/bin:$PATH
export PATH

But, that did not work.  After doing some research, it looks like maybe I should be doing something like the SetEnv directive in httpd.conf, is that right? 

Thanks for your help,

Eddy
