How do I add paths to the Apache PATH variable?

Question

I\'ve set in my custom.conf file in apache2 this:

SetEnv PATH $PATH:/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin:/this-is-a-test

However it\'s not working. Wh

Answer 1

Macports Apache 2.4 install

The only way I have found to get this to stick on a reboot is to edit the macports apache2.plist. Steps I took:

1.sudo /opt/local/sbin/apachectl stop

2.Edit plist: /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2/org.macports.apache2.plist

And add:

EnvironmentVariables

    PATH
    /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:{add paths here}

3.sudo port unload apache2

4.sudo port load apache2

5.sudo /opt/local/sbin/apachectl start

Paths stick on a reboot. However the plist will probably be wiped on the next macports update I do.

EDIT : And this proved to be true. I upgraded to Mojave with an associated macports update, and had to re-apply the steps above
