Were I work, my group supports/installs apache, but we don't have access to write to /usr/bin/envvars, and we have sudo access to fire off httpd, which by the way to config files are in /tools/http/<servername>/conf/httpd.conf With a start script that looks like this: DIRN=`dirname $0` BASE=`basename $0` if [[ ! ${WORKDIR} = ${DIRN} ]]; then WORKDIR=`pwd` cd ${WORKDIR} fi SMADM=$(pwd)/smEnv.sh APACHECTL=/usr/sbin/apachectl CONF_FILE=$(pwd)/conf/httpd.conf if [[ -f ${SMADM} ]]; then . ${SMADM} fi sudo ${APACHECTL} -f ${CONF_FILE} -k start if [[ -n ${WORKDIR} ]]; then cd ${WORKDIR} fi The smEnv.sh looks like this: for siteminder NETE_WA_PATH=/tools/5qmr7/smwa/webagent/bin NETE_WA_ROOT=/tools/5qmr7/smwa/webagent PATH=/tools/5qmr7/smwa/webagent/bin:$PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tools/5qmr7/smwa/webagent/lib export NETE_WA_PATH export NETE_WA_ROOT export PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH The error I end up with is Syntax error on line 190 of /tools/httpd/dvmk0023-Z5S-Secure/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /tools/5qmr7/smwa/webagent/lib/libmod_sm20.so into server: libbtunicode.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory This is line 190 ### SiteMinder Loadmodules LoadModule sm_module /tools/5qmr7/smwa/webagent/lib/libmod_sm20.so **NOTE*** if I add the stuff from smWA.sh to /usr/bin/envvars EVERYTHING starts up and is fine, you ask what the problem is? The SA's don't want us writing to something in /usr/bin Anyone know a solution?
