# apache fails to start complains document root doesnt exist
DocumentRoot /web
# apache starts, requests fail
#
# DocumentRoot web
# apache starts, requests fail (cant find /var inside chroot)
#
# DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/web
# apache starts, requests work but php cant load inc.php (docroot==chroot)
# (this only works because / actually exists in the filesystem)
#
# ChrootDir /var/www/example.com/web/
# DocumentRoot /
Apache fails to start with "DocumentRoot doesn't exists" error, from
strace output it seems apache does a stat/stat64 on documentroot before
it chroots itself, then does it again before serving pages once request
comes in.
Workaround:
Making empty "web" directory in / tricks apache into starting and servering requests, as well as php include working as expected.
