Hi, your “chroot location” is defined in /etc/lighttpd.conf. If you didn't change it, it is /var/www.
Please read the man page for chroot(8). The command to do this is “man 8 chroot” (without the quotes). Alternatively the Wikipedia entry for chroot can help you understand what chroot is and does. Stuart's answers assume you didn't change the file /etc/lighttpd.conf. If you did change it, you might want to send the contents of the changed file, too.
