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.
