Can I do the following

vi /etc/sysconfig/httpd

# Configuration file for the httpd service.

#
# The default processing model (MPM) is the process-based
# 'prefork' model.  A thread-based model, 'worker', is also
# available, but does not work with some modules (such as PHP).
# The service must be stopped before changing this variable.
#
#HTTPD=/usr/sbin/httpd.worker

#
# To pass additional options (for instance, -D definitions) to the
# httpd binary at startup, set OPTIONS here.
#
#OPTIONS=

#
# By default, the httpd process is started in the C locale; to
# change the locale in which the server runs, the HTTPD_LANG
# variable can be set.
#
#HTTPD_LANG=C
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/oracle/10g
ORACLE_SID=king
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
LD_LIBRARY_PATH_32=$ORACLE_HOME/lib32
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256; export NLS_LANG
NLS_DATE_FORMAT=dd-mm-yyyy ; export NLS_DATE_FORMAT
export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID LD_LIBRARY_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH_32 PATH

Which completely circumvents the usual process for starting up apache,
and will be wiped away with a simple 'service httpd restart' or even
better (the weekly logrotate), and require you to reboot the machine
or call your script again.  That might not be the *best* solution.

Ian's previous post about setting variables in /etc/sysconfig/httpd is
correct. Define the vars in /etc/sysconfig/httpd, and make sure you
export them there.

This is the intended use and the 'redhat' method.
