Re^2: Dynaloader library path

Thanks - I'm getting closer. If I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the shell, things seem to work.

Problem is running it as a CGI, seems the the Apache environment isn't picking up the setting. I have a .profile and .bashrc setup, but no dice.

Setting the $ENV hash within the script doesn't seem to do the trick either. Any ideas? I'm about to just post to an .sh script which calls the perl script!

In Apache, you can use the PassEnv directive to pass along particular environment variables to the httpd server, see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_env.html#passenv This ought to let your CGI scripts see the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable. The vairable has to be set in the shell starting the httpd process, so make sure your shell script that starts Apache has the variable set/exported, if it isn't already so. -imran	[reply]

Well, if I had access to the script that starts Apache (aka root), I'd have just installed the files in the global lib area, and been done with it :) Problem is, I don't have root on the machine, it's a hosted account. So I'm looking for a way to get the Path set and exported so the Dynaloader can see it. I was wondering if Apache looks at .profile, .bashrc, before running a CGI that might help me. -Jim	[reply]

You can also use the SetEnv directive. You can place this in a .htaccess file in the directory where your script resides. -imran	[reply]
