Reading Environmental variable returns null , always
I was successful with storing EnvVar but have problems reading it.
For some strange reason return value is always null.
App name : ThingTranslatorAPI2
Var: apiKey
I tried calling Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("apiKey") from Application_Start and then from within ApiController itself but nothing works.
any ideas please?

Just to make sure, did you read the Environments wiki page?
From there I assume it's just a
var myVar = Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["var_name"]kind'a call...I might be wrong.

Hi,
AppHarbor doesn't currently inject configuration variables in the user environment, so you'd need to set them yourself if you need it -- I've seen a few cases were third party libraries require environment variables to be set, but that's not very common. If you control the code I'd recommend just using the application's AppSettings as balexandre adviced.
Let me know if your use case somehow requires environment variables and I'll be happy to look furher into that!
Best,
Rune

Hi guys
I confused Configuration with Environmental variables :)
Now everything works fine.
Thank you.
