[mod-security-users] SecChrootDir & Apache Debug Mode

[Dan <dm...@op...>]

I have a Apache 2.0.54 compiled with mod_security 1.8.7 and I'm using 
SecChrootDir.  I'm trying to figure out why my PHP exec() call is failing 
by using strace.  To run strace I'm starting Apache in debug mode (-X) like 
below:

strace /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -X

However, SecChrootDir seems to have a problem when I start Apache in debug 
mode.  I get the following error in the log.

[emerg] mod_security: chroot requested but not completed! Exiting.


This makes it slightly difficult to check my PHP script's exec() with 
strace while in jail.  Is this a known problem?  Is there any work arounds 
or alternative methods to get the debugging information I'm after?

Thanks!
