Thx, very much I mknod /dev/random. It is running. I tried the command "httpd -X". If there is trouble, it end immediatly without any information. [root@localhost dev]# chroot /www /apache/bin/httpd -X [root@localhost dev]# I removed the random file from my chroot environment. [root@localhost dev]# chroot /www /apache/bin/httpd -X [root@localhost dev]# I made random again, I searched the FAQ on apache web site,but it didnt contain any debug methods. Do you mind give me a URL? 2005/11/30, Joshua Slive <jslive@xxxxxxxxx>: > On 11/29/05, ludi <myhapwcforever@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > /apache is the apache install directory using the command "ln -s > > /www/apache /apche". > > I have copy files nessary by apache ,such as config files and lib > > files ,etc..... > > In non-chroot environment, the web server can bind and start without > > error.However, when I chroot the process ,I got a error. > > > > [Wed Nov 30 09:56:22 2005] [notice] Digest: generating secret for > > digest authentication ... > > [Wed Nov 30 09:56:22 2005] [crit] (2)No such file or directory: > > Digest: error generating secret: No such file or directory > > Configuration Failed > > > > I dont know which file or directory it need .
