[Charlotte.PM] charlotte Digest, Vol 23, Issue 6: chroot env

[George McLaughlin]

DOH!! Just read issue #5 and saw the rest of the thread. I thought you were trying to do something else...my bust. I don't know about what would cause the issue your having. 'chroot' will only change your working directory to the one you have listed as $root...and if $root is not included I believe it changes it to the current dir or $_...

It does sound more like a Apache or Unix question though. Did you install your Apache in a chroot env or set the SecChrootDir directive in the mod_secuirty module or does tomcat allow you to use that?
