Hi, You can put something like this, in httpd.conf file:
include ...path_to_file And make the directory where sits that file readable only by the root user. Then, in that file, put something like: SetEnv usr user_name SetEnv pass parolissima Those 2 environment variables will be seen by any script that runs on that server. If you want them to be seen only by the scripts which are ran by a certain virtualhost, put that "include" line between <virtualhost...> and </virtualhost>.
