How to use the setEnv variable in apache?

Question

I need to set my apache environment to \'foobar\'

I know I need to set in in my vhost, but what should I type there and where?

Answer 1

I came here because I configured a python/django WSGI environment. Loading modules and SetEnv'ing all day long. Did not work. The vars would just not show up.

What did work was this: https://gist.github.com/GrahamDumpleton/b380652b768e81a7f60c

Graham describes how to basically clone your wsgi.py file and then use a different one for each environment (production, test, dev) and setting your environment vars in there with os.environ['whatever'] = 'you like!'
