title: SetEnv not updating my environment variable (noob warning)
body: <p>I am still an Apache noob, and I am trying to set an environment variable that will be used by my Rails application.  </p>
  
  <p>I've read <a href="https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_env.html#setenv" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_env.html#setenv</a> and done some google and SO searches. I have at least determined that the value to be assigned must be in quotes. However, when I run <code>sudo service apache2 restart</code>, the value of SECRET_KEY_BASE is still not correct (viewed via <code>printenv</code>). I don't know what I don't know. Is there some step i'm missing?</p>
  
  <p>In my apache configuration I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SetEnv SECRET_KEY_BASE "e10e721..."
  
  # Tell Apache and Passenger where your app's 'public' directory is
  DocumentRoot /var/www/some_path
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please let me know what other information I might need to share. Thanks for looking.</p>
