I'm trying to set ORACLE_HOME so that PHP will connect to Oracle. I first tried to stick the following into /etc/bashrc ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/client_1 export ORACLE_HOME That works fine for everyone on the box who has a shell, but the apache user doesn't have a shell so this never gets run and apache never figures out ORACLE_HOME. So then I tried to stick the following into /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf SetEnv ORACLE_HOME /home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/client_1 I restarted apache and I thought everything was good. However it wasn't. B/c I restarted apache from my user's shell it picked up the all the environmental vars from me. When I had to reboot the box the next day, the var wasn't set in spite of what is in httpd.conf. So now I'm wondering what to do next. This is on a RHEL 4 box. Can anyone help me?
