[newbie] Path for CGI changes if I restart apache

[Doug Ransom]

I would like to use python2.3 for my cgi scripts, which I have installed 
in /usr/local/bin.

When my computer boots, my cgi scripts use and older version of python 
that is installed in /usr/bin.

If I stop apache and then start it again, apache uses python2.3 for 
/usr/local/bin as expected.


Can someone explain why the python in /usr/bin is being used at boot 
rather than the one from usr/local/bin?


I am using the fedora distrobution.
