ChrootDir Directive

Description:Directory for apache to run chroot(8) after startup.
Syntax:ChrootDir /path/to/directory
Default:none
Context:server config
Status:Base
Module:mod_unixd
Compatibility:Available in Apache 2.2.10 and later

This directive tells the server to chroot(8) to the specified directory after startup, but before accepting requests over the 'net.

Note that running the server under chroot is not simple, and requires additional setup, particularly if you are running scripts such as CGI or PHP. Please make sure you are properly familiar with the operation of chroot before attempting to use this feature.
