Re: [mod-security-users] Mutex errors in chroot Apache

[Michael G. <mic...@gm...>]

I spent hours debugging this.  I finally figured it out.

The problem is that a mutex file is being created in /tmp (it looks like:
/tmp/aprat6W1c).  Then the chroot happens and this file vanishes because it is
no longer available within the chroot.

What I did to solve this was to mount /tmp within my chroot (which is /home/www)
using a nullfs mount:

mount -t nullfs /tmp /home/www/tmp

A better solution would be to move the apr mutex file into the chroot.  Does
anyone know how to specify the location of this mutex file manually?
