This is slightly off topic, but since chroot has been integral to openbsd's apache longer than pretty much anywhere else, I figure you guys will probably have an answer for me.
I've been beating my head against the monitor for a couple of days trying to figure out the best way to get some generated PHP code (rails-style) to run both in and out of the chroot environment, since it comes with a lot of paths that get hard coded into place, and I need to use the same codebase on the webserver and from the console. I finally had a minor epiphany, and created a /var/www/var/www symlink that points up to the chroot: $ pwd /var/www/var $ ls -l total 0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root daemon 3 Feb 13 01:49 www -> ../ this works perfectly, my only question is whether there's any security concerns with such a setup that I should be aware of.
