How to use the setEnv variable in apache?

I need to set my apache environment to 'foobar'

I know I need to set in in my vhost, but what should I type there and where?

Solution

  • SetEnv sets a particular variable to some value, so you need something like

    SetEnv varname varvalue

    If this is for a specific virtual host, and you have access to the Apache configuration files, this would go inside the <VirtualHost> directive for that virtual host.

    If you don't have control of the config files, you'll need to put it in a .htaccess file. But for this to work, SetEnv must be allowed in .htaccess files, which is specified using the AllowOverride directive.
