Joshua Thanks, this is very useful. I'm not an Apache expert, and I was following instructions written by someone else who, also, clearly does not know how to use setenv & passenv.
The /var/apache2/logs/error_log reported: [Wed Jun 07 17:08:22 2006] [error] httpd: could not log pid to file /var/run/apache2/httpd.pid ..and this was because there was no apache2 directory in /var/run. Once created, the httpd server started. Many thanks.

Setenv is used to set new variables that apache will pass to cgi scripts. Passenv is used to take env variables that were set in the shell that started apache and pass them along to cgi scripts. You would never want to use both for the same variable. > > ..and the httpd server did not start. I have found lots of reports of this > using Google, but no-one seems to know the solution. Does anybody here know > how to resolve this? The fact that the server did not start is possibly unrelated. The messages you quoted were only warnings. Was there anything else in the error log?
