Using OpenBSD's chrooted Apache

Posted by Hemos on Monday April 7, 2003 @12:43AM from the learning-what-to-do dept.

BSD Forums writes "OpenBSD recently changed the mode of operation for the Apache webserver from the normal non-chrooted operation to chrooted operation. This enhances the security of the server on which Apache is run but it imposes a few challenges to the system administrator. In this article Marc Balmer discusses selected aspects of running a chrooted HTTP daemon and present strategies on how to set up a chrooted environment for more complex applications like database access or using CGI-scripts."

Challenges for the system administrator? Look, each day, billions of people are starving to death worldwide, and Slashdot has an article about the challenge of chrooting a web server or something. Way to go.

All those dead children have you to blame, Taco.
