I wrestled with this same issue a few days ago. The section "Application Configuration" on this page provides some guidance:
http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ConfigurationGuidelines In a nutshell, the apache SetEnv isn't setting values in the process environment that os.environ represents. Instead SetEnv is setting values in the context of the WSGI request. Within your code you can reference that context at request.environ: def myView(request): tier = request.environ['TIER'] Hope that helps, Jason Stevens On Dec 16, 1:58 pm, Dashdrum <dgen...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm using mod_wsgi to host my Django site, and all is working well, > except... > > I'd like to access an environment variable set in the Apache > configuration like so: > > SetEnv TIER dev > > The os.environ.get() function seems appropriate for this, but no > luck.
