We have PHP running via mod_fastcgi + suexec and it seems that PHP processes run this way don't see environment variables set via SetEnv
in a .htaccess
file. I checked via a perl script and a shell script (both run via mod_cgid
) that SetEnv indeed sets a variable (i.e. doing so is allowed by AllowOverride
and mod_env
is loaded). And I checked via $_SERVER
, $_ENV
, getenv()
,
$HTTP_ENV_VARS
and phpinfo()
that PHP does not see the variable. I have not tried to find a proper solution, but I will post an answer that is a decent workaround.

Have you tried `SetEnvIf` instead? `SetEnvIf` is processed early, `SetEnv` is processed late - I don't know whether that makes any difference in this instance? (By moving `SetEnv` to a VitualHost context it will effectively be processed earlier.) – MrWhite Jun 27 '18 at 17:29

1I did try SetEnvIf - same result. – user2845840 Jun 27 '18 at 22:50

For those who encounter the same problem, an inconvenient but quick workaround is to copy the relevant SetEnv
-lines from the .htaccess
files to the VirtualHost
configuration blocks of the corresponding domain and restart Apache. Variables set this way seem to be visible to PHP.
