This looks roughly like a CGI enviromnent, and the Oracle Variables seem to be set. But lots of variables seem to be missing, like PATH and some variabes starting with HTTP_, SERVER_, SCRIPT_, and REQUEST_. And the LD_xxx variables shouldn't be there.

If this is the *complete* environment provided to the CGI, something is *very* wrong with the Apache.

If not, post a complete dump of %ENV in CGI context, e.g. with the printenv script that came with Apache:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
##
##  printenv -- demo CGI program which just prints its environment
##

print "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n\n";
foreach $var (sort(keys(%ENV))) {
   $val = $ENV{$var};
   $val =~ s|\n|\\n|g;
   $val =~ s|"|\\"|g;
   print "${var}=\"${val}\"\n";
}


Did you really set AND export ORACLE_HOME or LD_LIBRARY_PATH such that
Apache children see them? I can't remember what the syntax in the
httpd.conf file is now (SetEnv perhaps) as I no longer use Apache but
you used to have to explicitly tell Apache which env vars to allow.

Two ways:

1. PassEnv VariableName [...] -- see <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_env.html#passenv> 2. SetEnv VariableName Value -- see <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_env.html#setenv>

I prefer PassEnv over SetEnv when the variables already exist in the environment of the process invoking the Apache server. That way, I don't have to change the Apache configuration when an environment variable changes. I use SetEnv only to set additional variables that must not appear in the environment of the process invoking the Apache server.
