Set environment variables in the motor yard

Question

My application is in Engine Yard services, and I need to set environment variables to work with my secret identifier and password.

Does anyone know how I can set each variable? What is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

I was only able to set environment variables for my Unicorn application.

• Open / data / {app_name} /shared/config/env.custom and edit it like this:

  export SECRET_ID=yourid export SECRET_PASSWORD=yourpass 

• Restarting the unicorn /engineyard/bin/app_{app_name} reload

Answer 2

If you use Unicorn, you can try putting them in /data//shared/config/env.custom. Otherwise, it can be tricky. Throw a support ticket and they will look.
