Hi iv,
may be Stas' Env::C module helps - see
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/troubleshooting/troubleshooting.html
and the modules manpage.
For example i set the relevant environment variables to connect
to an informix DB server in startup.pl:
..
use Env::C;
Env::C::setenv('INFORMIXDIR', '/opt/informix', [$override]);
Env::C::setenv('INFORMIXSERVER', 'ol_server1', [$override]);
..

hello
i've got a problem with connection to my database - db2.
i'm trying to esteblish it from a mod_perl module; every time i get an
error "null: DBI connect('my1st','iv',...) failed: Total Environment
allocation failure! Did you set up your DB2 client environment?"
i've searched the web and have carefully done what is suggested: set
enviromental variables in an apache config file, in the way like this:
PerlSetEnv DB2_PATH /opt/IBM/db2/
PerlPassEnv DB2_PATH
(i've also tried it with mod_env module and directives
SetEnv && PassEnv)
my module can see these variables appropriately in %ENV:
CUR_INSTNAME - db2inst1
DB2DIR - /opt/IBM/db2/V8.1
DB2INSTANCE - db2inst1
DB2_PATH - /opt/IBM/db2/V8.1
INSTHOME - /home/db2inst1
LD_LIBRARY_PATH - /home/db2inst1/sqllib/lib
LIBPATH - /home/db2inst1/sqllib/lib
SQLLIB - /home/db2inst1/sqllib/lib
(i've listed them simply running "foreach my $key (sort keys %ENV) {
$r->print("$key - $ENV{$key}<br/>");}" )
but it doesn't help: still no connection and the same error
any ideas will be highly appreciated
iv
