Setting environment variables in .htaccess

It seems environment variables don't work as expected on LiteSpeed and aren't compatible with the way Apache does things.

I have this, which works on Apache:

Code:

SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/path/to/admin.*$" adminUri



AuthName "Password protected"

AuthType Basic

AuthUserFile ./.htpasswd

Require valid-user



Order Deny,Allow

Deny from all

Allow from env=adminUri

Satisfy any

Searching around brought up that LiteSpeed doesn't handle SetEnvIf at all and that it should be done with rewriterules. The problem is that it doesn't work either:

Code:

RewriteRule ^/path/to/admin - [E=AppDisablePasswordProtect:1]



AuthName "Password protected"

AuthType Basic

AuthUserFile ./.htpasswd

Require valid-user



Order Deny,Allow

Deny from all

Allow from env=AppDisablePasswordProtect

Satisfy any

Furthermore, setting an environment variable and using it in, for example, PHP doesn't work either:

Code:

RewriteRule (.*) - [E=FOO:BAR]

PHP Code:


		
			
<?

print_r($_ENV);

Any pointers on how to solve these two issues?

Adding Env should be working in LSWS. You can enable rewrite logging to verify by adding 'RewriteLogLevel 9' in httpd.conf and look for [REWRITE] entries in error_log.

However, the added env would not reflect in $_ENV but $_SERVER.

For your case, a workaround is to create .htaccess in folder /path/to/admin to allow access:
