Configure Apache Path Environment Variable on Mac OSX

Problem: Apache2/PHP did not find a program to execute on its configured path

Solution: Add a new path of /usr/local/bin to Apache2's path where the program was installed

  1. Edit the Apache2 plist file with whatever editor you like (example using vim):

     $ sudo vim /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist

  2. Add the following to the the plist file:

     <key>EnvironmentVariables</key>
 <dict>
   <key>PATH</key>
   <string>/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin</string>
 </dict>

  3. Restart Apache2

     $ sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl stop
 $ sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl start
