In the light of this how about a feature request that you can add environment variables to webmin's environment from within webmin (somewhere in Webmin Configuration preferably)? I suppose there is the fiddly business of restarting webmin in order that the changes take effect (unless miniserv will respond to a signal that makes it re-read its configuration file or something cunning like that). Does sound like a lot of work for something that probably wouldn't get a lot of use. In the 27 previous versions of Webmin that I've used I've only had to set environment variables once before. =20 All the best, Jon -----Original Message----- From: web...@li...

Assuming you have an Oracle installation to point your ORACLE_HOME at, you could try putting=20 ORACLE_HOME=3D/path/to/oracle/installation export ORACLE_HOME into /etc/webmin/start and restarting webmin That might do the trick.

Subject: RE: perl module -- DBD::Oracle wants ORACLE_HOME set -- how do you set it? Well, I added an entry in miniserv.conf and tried to install the perl module again, but it did not work. root has in his .profile the environment set too. I get the following: Executing /usr/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL && make .. =20 Using DBI 1.28 installed in /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris-thread-multi/auto/DBI Duplicate specification "S=3Ds" for option "s" Configuring DBD::Oracle ... >>> Remember to actually *READ* the README file! Especially if you have any problems. The ORACLE_HOME environment variable must be set. It must be set to hold the path to an Oracle installation directory on this machine (or a machine with a compatible architecture). See the README.clients file for more information. -----Original Message----- From: J.Hawkesworth [mailto:J.H...@ta...] Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2002 4:43 AM To: web...@li... Subject: RE: perl module -- DBD::Oracle wants ORACLE_HOME set -- how do you set it? David, Webmin runs as root. Unless you lose a lot of functionality, it has to run as root otherwise it wouldn't be able to do all of the administration tasks that it exists to do, like adding users. As for setting environment variables, put a line like env_ORACLE_HOME=3D/path/to/oracle/installation in /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf and then restart webmin. I'm not 100% convinced this will work for all environment variables - I think webmin (quite rightly) effectively hides some well-known environment variables which could be a security risk.

Subject: perl module -- DBD::Oracle wants ORACLE_HOME set -- how do you set it? Hello, I am trying to use the standard perl module to install DBD::Oracle. It fails and says I need to set ORACLE_HOME. What does webmin run as? How do you set environment variables in general for webmin? How do I set one for this example? Thanks ahead of time for your help. David E.
