I have been advised by a sysadmin, to run Apache in a chroot jail, in order to prevent that an attacker could take control of server.

So my question is:

  • What is the best method to chroot Apache/2.2.3 in RHEL/CentOS 5?, i only use the default modules that comes with Apache like mod_php and also mod_security.

I heard of mod_security SecChrootDir but i don't know if it would be suitable for my config, it says that it's recommended only for static file serving in the documentation.

Thank you!
