Hi,

I am running Redhat 7.1 and apache 2.4 but I am not able to find any
documentation on the "/etc/sysconfig/httpd" file.
[...]
This works.

HTTPD_ENV_NAME="devl"

I have tried the following with no success.

HTTPD_HOSTNAME=`hostname`
HTTPD_HOSTNAME=${hostname}
HTTPD_HOSTNAME=$(hostname)

the first an the last line should work (while I prefer the $() version)
- what catches the eye is the change in variable names (HTTPD_ENV_NAME
vs. HTTPD_HOSTNAME)...

Couple of starter points

1) the apache httpd project is not responsible for the distribution  

specific builds.  The /etc/sysconfig/httpd thing is a red hat-ism.

just for the records, you'll see that with SUSE Linux Enterprise  

(SLES) as well, at least up to (still widely used) SLES11.

2) you should contact red hat for support on that

In general /etc/sysconfig/httpd (which at some point will be  

deprected -it already is with fedora as systemd generally doesn't  

use /etc/sysconfig files) are simply ./sourced into the init script

well, had you redirected the OP to some shell scripting list, I'd have  

agreed, but...

[...] So you'll want to look more closely at the init script and the  

httpd configuration files to even know if what you're trying to do  

in /etc/sysconfig/httpd is doable.

...obviously he already found a working way of setting the value  

statically, but didn't manage to do so dynamically. Hence I thought it  

polite to point out that mismatch in variable names between these two  

variants.

Jens
