Re: Apache2 chroot /dev/null permission denied

[Knowledge Seeker <knoseeker@googlemail.com>]

Thanks for the help.
Doing what was asked I figured out and solved the problem.
Another administrator added the option nodev  to the partition of the chroot. Probably He did not umounted and mounted the partition after that and the service did not stopped, when we restart the machine, the problem appeared.

One question.
For security reasons, what the best mount options for the chroot partition?
nosuid I already have.
Is it advisable to have nodev on the chroot and mount another small /chroot/dev partition (maybe ramdisk), without the nodev option containing  the null urandom and random devices?

Thanks again.

Please post the exact complete error message, and
also the results of the following three commands run
as root as soon as possible after the error occurs:

# ls -dl /dev
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 6280 2010-03-14 11:16 /dev
# ls -l /dev/null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2010-03-14 11:15 /dev/null
# su www-data -c 'ls -l /dev/null'
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2010-03-14 11:15 /dev/null

Is there anything in your Apache config that might
be trying to chroot?
