How to retrieve the values of environment variables in cpanel?

[Walter Randazzo]

Hi there, good night.   

Does anybody know how to set up environment variables in a cpanel shared hosting?

I've found the way to declare the variable name and the value through the "Setup Python App" section, but  I didn't find the way to retrieve the value in the settings file.

Please note that cpanel has no terminal.

Thanks in advance,

I think you will have limited abilities without terminal but you can try it anyway .

check this https://docs.cpanel.net/cpanel/software/application-manager/82/#add-environment-variables

and for passenger_wsgi.py in your /home/user/django-project/

import sys, os
INTERP = "/home/user/django-project/django-env/bin/python3"
if sys.executable != INTERP: os.execl(INTERP, INTERP, *sys.argv)

from  project.wsgi import application

I hope this helps

Hi Imad,

I've just follow up the steps u suggested with no luck. I think i miss up something.

How you set the SECRET_KEY variable in  settings.py file?

To All,

I was able to successfully setup  environment variables in cpanel using the package python-dotenv.

Here is the instructions that I followed up:
