Bug ID: 55787
Summary: Chroot fails with "Cannot chroot when not started as
root" error
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.4.6
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Core
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I have set my chroot directory as shown below.
ChrootDir /var/www
When started with the above chroot setting, apache2 exits with the following
error
[Sat Nov 16 10:20:54.241556 2013] [unixd:alert] [pid 12802] (2)No such file or
directory: AH02158: Cannot chroot when not started as root
NOTE: apache2 is started as 'root' user. It looks like the call to check
geteuid() is made after apache2 lowers its privilege to APACHE_RUN_USER?
I am not sure this is a bug or configuration issue. This directory (/var/www)
mentioned above was setup with everything needed for chroot'ed environment with
libapache2-mod-chroot and was working fine for many years running under apache
2.2. Recently, I upgraded to 2.4.6 and wanted to switch to apache2's native
Chroot since mod_chroot is no longer maintained and I am now stuck with the
above error.
