Finally, we must test the new chrooted jail configuration of our Apache Web Server. The first thing to do is to restart our syslogd daemon with the following command:

        [root@deep ]/# /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog restart
      

        Shutting down kernel logger:                               	[  OK  ]
        Shutting down system logger:                               	[  OK  ]
        Starting system logger:                                    	[  OK  ]
        Starting kernel logger:                                		[  OK  ]
      

Now, start the new chrooted jail Apache with the following command:

        [root@deep ]/# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start
      

        Starting httpd:                                            		[  OK  ]
      

If you don't get any errors, do a ps ax | grep httpd and see if we're running:

        [root@deep ]/# ps ax | grep httpd
      

        14373 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
        14376 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
        14377 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
        14378 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
        14379 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
        14380 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
        14381 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
        14382 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
        14383 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
        14384 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
        14385 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
        14386 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
        14387 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
        14388 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
        14389 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
        14390 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
        14391 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
        14397 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
        14476 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
        14477 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
        14478 ?        S      0:00 httpd -DSSL
      

If so, lets check to make sure it's chrooted by picking out one of its process numbers and doing ls -la /proc/that_process_number/root/.

        [root@deep ]/# ls -la /proc/14373/root/
      

If you see:

        dev
        etc
        home
        lib
        usr
        var
      

congratulations!

As mentioned above, if you use Perl, you'll need to copy or hardlink any system libraries, perl libraries /usr/lib/perl5, and binaries into the chroot area. The same applies for SSL, PHP, LDAP, PostgreSQL and other programs.
