Where and how should I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be visible by apache?

I tried to add following code to .bash_profile:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/folder_with_library/ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I restart apache but in phpinfo() i still see errors, so libraries hasn't been loaded.
It was working for command: echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Any help how to set this path?

I need to set that on VPS server - os is linux red-hat.

/etc/init.d/httpd file content:

  • That's a non-standard httpd init script for CentOS. Where did you get it? quanta's answer is correct for the standard CentOS init script. Commented Sep 6, 2012 at 16:34
  • in /etc/init.d/httpd Commented Sep 6, 2012 at 16:38
  • Actually, more specifically, how did you install Apache? Commented Sep 6, 2012 at 16:38
  • sorry, I didnt know what did you mean by that. It was already there, it's VPS server. Commented Sep 6, 2012 at 16:42
  • Looking at these comments, is this question really about Apache? Should it be re-tagged? Commented Sep 20, 2012 at 14:03

Since the init script include the following:

if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/httpd ]; then . /etc/sysconfig/httpd fi

You can set it in /etc/sysconfig/httpd:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/folder_with_library/ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

UPDATE Thu Sep 6 23:27:06 ICT 2012

Change the ENV line to:

ENV="env -i LANG=C PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin LC_MESSAGES=en_US LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/sql_anywhere/"

and try again.

UPDATE Fri Sep 7 00:14:11 ICT 2012

Add the following to the init script (underneath the # Source function library. line) to see what happens:

# Source SQL Anywhere . /path/to/the/sa_config.sh

  • Sorry, but i'm not too good in that. When you wrote init script, what file would it be? Also I haven't got file /etc/sysconfig/httpd, but I've got /etc/init.d/httpd - is it the same file but in different location (different serv. spec.?). Please please HELP. Commented Sep 6, 2012 at 16:12
  • The init script is /etc/init.d/httpd. You can also set it in the start() function. Append the content of this file to your original post. Commented Sep 6, 2012 at 16:15
  • as you can see I tryied to add this LD_.._PATH but it didnt work after restarting apache, so I've change it to comment Commented Sep 6, 2012 at 16:27
  • Updated my question. Append it to the ENV line, then restart Apache and try again. Commented Sep 6, 2012 at 16:38
  • This is I've got in phpinfo(): LD_LIBRARY_PATH :/usr/lib/sql_anywhere/, but still have error: SQLAnywhere client version The SQLAnywhere client libraries could not be loaded. Please ensure that libdbcapi.so can be found in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.. Does it mean I upload wrong libraries? File exist in location I set. Commented Sep 6, 2012 at 16:48
