I have centos 7 webserser, all site's files within wwwsitenamehtdocs belong to user 'apache'.
Sometimes i need git pull as apache user, that's why i wrote simple script to sudo as apache:
[ansible@vm123123 ~]$ cat ~/suwu.sh
#!/bin/sh
sudo setfacl -m apache:x $(dirname "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK")
sudo setfacl -m apache:rwx "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK"
sudo -E su -s /bin/sh apache
[ansible@vm123123 ~]$
And it works well, i can log in as apache user, change files and forward my SSH key to git server.
But can't start mc as apache:
sh-4.2$ mc
(mc:36339): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory.
This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set.
The overwriting error message was: Cannot create "/usr/share/httpd/.cache/mc"
(mc:36339): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory.

The overwriting error message was: Cannot create "/usr/share/httpd/.local/share/mc"
áñþù ÷ðÿуÑÂúð:
Cannot create "/usr/share/httpd/.config/mc"
sh-4.2$
That's why i run mc like this:
sh-4.2$ MC_HOME=/tmp/MCHOME mc
This works, but is there a way to set up MC_HOME for apache once in my script or somewhere else?

You could add:export MC_HOME='/tmp/MCHOME'to your~/.bash_profileor to the beginning of your script.

@Jesse_b user 'apache' has no home directory via security reason. Exporting variable in script is good idea, one minute...

If you aren't concerned with how it will affect other users on that machine you could add it to/etc/profile. Maybe even an alias?alias mca='MC_HOME=/tmp/MCHOME mc'

My answer is a duplicate of several other answers on this site. I am curious however if there is a "proper" way to set environmental variables for a user with no home directory.
