Thank you very much for the information. Never considered the httpd.conf file but your suggestion did fix one issue I was having.
The envvars file did have the correct variable path statement in it which still begs the question as to why issuing a sudo <any command> doesn't pick up any environment variables. Unless it's the fact that even though your telling the system to issue the command as root, you're not initiating root user and the environment settings like you would if you switch to root using sudo su - root.
