What takes priority, System ENV or .env file?

Thank you for both your responses.

Yes, I agree that CI_ENVIRONMENT env variable should be removed from .htaccess (and no other env vars should be put there, as per design). The documentation around this can be clearer though... I'll see if I can throw together a changeset for you to pull this evening.

I'll stick to the forum then if that is the most "live" medium
