Yes. The reason I asked you to turn of SELinux entirely is that I want 
to make sure that it's not interfering with apache's abilities of 
running programs locally, since the regular unix permissions allow you 
to. The error message you're seeing comes from certain environment 
variables are missing, which is indeed expected.

Was SELinux enabled on that server? What was its exact settings compared 
to the settings on this system?
