Changing the Homebrew Apache PATH variable

I found the answer here.

To change Apache environment variables when Apache was installed with Homebrew, edit the homebrew.mxcl.httpd24.plist file located in /usr/local/Cellar/httpd24/your version of Apache/.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"     "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  <key>Label</key>
  <string>homebrew.mxcl.httpd24</string>
  <!-- add this -->
  <key>EnvironmentVariables</key>
  <dict>
   <key>PATH</key>
   <string>/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin</string>
  </dict>
  <!-- end add -->
  <key>ProgramArguments</key>
  <array>
    <string>/usr/local/opt/httpd24/bin/httpd</string>
    <string>-D</string>
    <string>FOREGROUND</string>
  </array>
  <key>RunAtLoad</key>
  <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

Then restart Apache.

how to set env variable for apache on Mac OS X

Here is what was wrong. In one of the virtual host i has typo and it started with #. The http.conf has server-root configuration which says

# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path.  If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive
# at a local disk.  If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple
# httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile.
#
ServerRoot "/usr"

It was terrible typo mstake.

How do I add paths to the Apache PATH variable?

That seems awfully strange to me that you are trying to set the PATH from within Apache. Instead, you should be setting the PATH for your system. There are several ways to do this in Mac OS X:

User-specific

For a single user, you can edit ~/.profile and add:

export PATH="$PATH":/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin:/this-is-a-test

Or you can create/edit ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist and define the PATH that way.

System-wide

On newer versions of Mac OS X, there is a file named "/etc/paths" and there is a folder named "/etc/paths.d" that allow you to extend the default paths. Basically, you would create a file in "/etc/paths.d" that lists all the paths that you wish to add to the default paths. On versions of Mac OS X that do not support this (you can tell based on whether "/usr/libexec/path_helper" exists), one can edit the default paths for all users by placing the export statement above in /etc/profile.

Change PATH Environment Variable in MAMP

In MAMP 4.0.6 for OSX I was able to update the Apache Environment Path by doing the following:

First check /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/apachectl for a line with the comment:

#pick up any necessary environment variables

Just below this line you should see a path to where MAMP will load environment variables.

Mine said:

/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/envvars

In the /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin path you should see a file named envvars_.

Copy this file and rename to envvars and add the following line:

export PATH="/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin"

Now restart your MAMP servers. The phpinfo should now have the updated path information.

Set ENV PATH of php and ffmpeg to use it inside PHP scripts with CLI like shell_exec()

You may put environment variables in the command just like in shell.

Examples:

shell_exec('PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/opt/php55/bin:$PATH which ffmpeg');

Alternative solution:

In case you do not want to make the code dirty, you may configure your Apache environment variables as follow.

Mac:

Edit

/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist

and added

<key>EnvironmentVariables</key>
<dict>
    <key>PATH</key>
    <string>/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/opt/php55/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin</string>
</dict>
