>Description:
I wanted my users to be able to use two environment variables so that they
could use
DBD::Oracle. LD_LIBRARY_PATH and ORACLE_HOME. Also want to use SuExec. The two
environment
variables are set in httpd.conf as SetEnv directives. These environment
variables
work fine on the share/cgi-bin scripts but don't get passed to user cgi-bin
scripts.
>How-To-Repeat:
Modify src/support/suexec.c as follows:
char *safe_env_lst[] =
{
/* add in the following two entries
"LD_LIBRARY_PATH",
"ORACLE_HOME",
Recompile with suexec support.
Edit httpd.conf and add:
SetEnv ORACLE_HOME foo
SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH bar
and see what environment variables you get from a simple env.cgi script in both
the share/cgi-bin dir and a user dir.
#!/bin/sh
echo content-type:text/html
echo
echo "<pre>"
env
The share/cgi-bin/env.cgi script should show both LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
ORACLE_HOME.
The userdir env.cgi seems to show ORACLE_HOME but not LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
>Fix:
I tried modifying the c source for suexec, and found that I could get
ORACLE_HOME
throught to user CGI scripts, but not LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Is there something else
somewhere that is blocking LD_LIBRARY_PATH?
