Env Variable on your own server

[samifouad]

Running Apache/PHP 7.x on Ubuntu 16.04, along with I'm sure several other similar configurations, will result in an error where after you follow the guide to update your PATH, PHP will not pick up new environment variable. You can reload Apache, restart the server all you like but it will not read.

You must define it manually. You can do it within PHP.ini, Apache VirtualHost, or the simple way via .htaccess:

SetEnv GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS [path_to_json_file]
