Well, As far as I understand, when chrooted, apache... 1. starts as root 2. open the log files (in this case the pipe) 3. chroots 4. drops privileges to user www Hum... Now that I've written this down, I see no reason why it shouldn't work. This scheme will obviously not survive a apachectl restart because of apache now being chrooted and not having any access to /usr/local/sbin/cronolog to reopen the pipe, but this is not a big problem. The problem is that I remember having dug up this problem a little, and all the solutions using cronolog were said to have problems when booting. I think I will actually give this solution a real try right now (;.
