[gentoo-user] add shell enviroment variable to apache2 process

Hi,

I would like to 'pass' shell environment variable to apache2. Looking at
the /etc/init.d/apache2 I've noticed, that env vars are cleared with
'clear_env_except'.
I've tried to add the variable to the /etc/conf.d/apache2 KEEPENV
directive but it didn't help.

I also tried to add line 'NLS_LANG' to the /etc/conf.d/env_whitelist but
with no avail.

Another try was to add the variable to
/etc/env.d/50oracle-instantclient-basic and run env-update and the
restart the apache2 server, with no luck...

I also put the 'NLS_LANG' export in the /etc/profile and it didn't work.

Eg.:
In shell I export:
export NLS_LANG=American_America.UTF8
/etc/init.d/apache2 start

Using this simple PHP script I can see what is set:
test.php:
<?php
echo "<pre>";
system("set");
echo "</pre>";
?>

I need NLS_LANG to be listed here but it is missing.
If I start the apache2 from the command line (without using the
/etc/init.d/apache2) the NLS_LANG is printed by the test.php script.

What am I doing wrong?

Best regards,
Hinko
