Environment variables

[Felipe Coury]

Is it possible to set environment variables for Rails / Rack
applications in nginx, when using Passenger? I want something like
what Apache offers:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName xyz.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/rails_app/public
PassengerAppRoot /var/www/rails_app
SetEnv MY_VARIABLE contents
</VirtualHost>

Or what nginx offers for fastcgi:

fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;

If not, is there a common way to mimic what I get with Apache
environment-based variables to be accessed from my Rails / Rack apps?

Thanks.

SetEnv and fastcgi_param aren't the same thing. The former sets system
environment variables, although they're also exposed through the CGI
environment. The latter only sets the CGI environment.

Phusion Passenger 3 for Nginx will provide an option comparable to
fastcgi_param: passenger_set_cgi_param.

Made it to this beta 1.

Thanks!

Thanks so much! That will enable us here in Webbynode to fully support
env variables while deploying using git and Passenger. Great news!

Best,
