Environment variables are inherited by processes in Unix. The files in /etc/profile.d are only executed (in the current shell, not in a subshell) when you log in. Just changing the value there and then restarting a process will not update the environment.
Possible Fixes:
# . /etc/profile.d/foo.sh, then restart apacheYou also need to make sure that
/etc/profile.d/is sourced when Apache is started byinitrather than yourself.The best fix might also depend on the distribution you are using, because they use different schemes for configuration.
