MAMP/Apache environment vars question

Hello,

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask the question but since this is a developing forum, I assume it is.

I was wondering if anyone would know why in MAMP when I view the phpinfo(), the PATH info under Apache Environment is different than what I specify in the Apache envvars file.

Apache seems to be getting the PATH info from somewhere else and I can't quite figure out where. I am using just MAMP; not the pro version.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Which file did you change? MAMP is its own, self-contained world.

Hello etresoft,

The file I changed is called: envvars

There are two actually, one is called envvars and the other envvars-std. Both have the same exact information in them. For me the file(s) are located at: Applications>MAMP>Library>bin

Thanks.

Did you restart MAMP after changing those files? Are you certain you are using MAMP? OS X includes Apache although it isn't running by default. I can tell you how to get the built-in Apache running, but MAMP is MAMP's problem.
