[mod-security-users] chroot trouble

[UpFront T. <upf...@rr...>]

Hello All.

I am having trouble using the newest release 1.8.4 chroot functionality.  I
run apache in a chroot...everything is fine, about 24-48 hours later, apache
shuts down, the only error message in am getting from error_log is:

httpd: could not open document config file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

I am assuming that the chroot (/chroot/apache) can't read the file outside
of the chroot.  Help is appreciated.  I am sure I am doing something stupid.

Where exactly should the apache files be stored for proper chroot
functionality?

  Sounds right. Is there an automated script that tries to restart
  Apache? Apache can't restart if the configuration file is out of
  its reach. You either have to stop and then start it, or keep
  the httpd.conf inside the jail.
