where to set $INFORMIXDIR

["Jochen Daum" <jochen.daum@cans.co.nz>]

Hi!

I have a debian woody box with Apache 1.3, PHP and Informix Client
SDK.

For the client SDK to function, I need to define INFORMIXDIR and
INFORMIXSERVER and pass it to apache. Where do I do that best?

I had something like that running on Suse, where I just put it into
/etc/profile.local

But the apache start script in /etc/init.d/apache seems to not want
environment variables leak into the apache config, so I tried to pass
it on...:

INFORMIXDIR=/opt/informix
INFORMIXSERVER=cognos_se
PATH=/opt/informix/bin:$PATH

trap "" 1
export LANG=C
export PATH
export INFORMIXDIR
export INFORMIXSERVER

# ensure we don't leak environment vars into apachectl
#APACHECTL="env -i LANG=${LANG} PATH=${PATH}
INFORMIXDIR=${INFORMIXDIR} INFORMI\
XSERVER=${INFORMIXSERVER} LD_CONFIG=${LD_CONFIG} $APACHECTL"

But this doesn't seem to work, as apache doesn't know INFORMIXDIR when
the machine is restarted

any help?
