SetEnv fails with Apache 2.4

[morefx]

Hi,

after upgraded apache from 2.2. to 2.4. Although I use pretty much the same configuration, I get "Invalid command 'SetEnv'" with 2.4.

/home/foobar/public_html/.htaccess: Invalid command 'SetEnv', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration


I double checked to have mod_env and mod_redirect checked in EasyApache. However the module is not present in apache 2.4 (see below). I noticed that "env" is not enabled by default in 2.4 any more, but is should work if enabled manually, I suppose.

Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

Regards
Chris

Hi!

I played with the options in EasyApache a bit and this is what I found:

1. Activate "Env" for Apache 2.4.7 (Upgrading from 2.2)
-> env_module not present.
2. Rerun EasyApache: note that "Env" is magically unchecked.
-> env_module not present.
3. Rund EasyApache a third time, again enable "Env".
-> env_module present!

A wild guess: Env was a default option (marked orange) in Apache 2.2 but not in 2.4. In the UI "Env" might be marked as active erroneously in 2.4 for the first run, but processed as unchecked.

Can anyone reproduce this?

Cheers
Chris

When I save a profile, the env variable is not included in the file.
I need reselect by hand on each recompile...

I could not reproduce this issue. Could you open a support ticket so we can take a closer look and reproduce the issue on your system?

Thank you.

I have had this same exact issue. I had to rebuild easy apache and manually select env module.

I can confirm that this is still an issue - we just upgraded a number of web servers to 2.4 and Env was specifically ticked during the upgrade but was not enabled and required Easyapache to be run again, selecting it again.
