Post Reply? We need newer versions of some executables, so I compiled them and dropped them in /home/qubitadmin/bin I added to /home/qubitadmin/.bashrc, PATH=”$HOME/bin:$PATH” This works great for login with SSH, qubitadmin@qubitron:~$ identify -version Version: ImageMagick 6.5.2-3 2009-05-08 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2009 ImageMagick Studio LLC qubitadmin@qubitron:~$ - but when Apache runs scripts, they still run the old executables, because I haven’t updated the PATH environment variable for when Apache runs scripts, e.g. http://ica-atom.org/cgi-bin/test.cgi Without editing the scripts, how can I run the new executables when accessed through Apache?
