The environment variables only apply to the scope that they were set in. |
| 16 |
When you set them as root they only applied to the root session; exiting |
| 17 |
back to user space removed them. |

You want to delete the current .bash_history file as it is probably only |
| 20 |
writable by root. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Then set the same environment variables in your current shell and they |
| 23 |
should stick. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
When they work add them to your .bashrc file. |
