Subject: Re: [users@httpd] CGI differences in apache 2.0 and 2.2

As root you can see the PATH variable for any running process in the 
/proc directory.  Here is what you need to do:

1. su to root
2. run the command   ps -e | grep httpd   which will show you all of 
process ids for apache

3. cd to /proc and do an ls.  You should see a directory with the same 
number as each of the httpd process ids

4. cd to one of those directories and then cat the environ file. The 
information is just one long sting and  not nicely formated, but  PATH 
should be obvious.
