Yes, you may see it on *your* own command line, as a normal user,
but the web server (you didn't specify which one, so we can't help)
may have its own environment default settings.

A common way to solve that (if Ubuntu's config tools don't
provide a facility to set either global or web server
specific vars) is to set this env var globally and manually.
