Hi,
I'm running OpenBSD 4.3 (GENERIC) with standard httpd Apache/1.3.29
(Unix).
I need to use on my machines phpsysinfo script as necessary
information table that may be accessed remotely.
So i made directory in Apache document root /phpsysinfo and I gave
necessary rights to it. And it works. PHP is installed and runned
within Apache - so it works.
But. There is a problem. It works only when I un-chroot httpd. I need
to add this flag: httpd_flags="-u" for httpd in /etc/rc.local.conf to
make it work properly.
Unfortunately :) PHP script is generating the SYSCALL functions or
something (sorry, I am not a PHP programmer) to root FS system
libraries. Especially devices state logs (dmesg).
Additionally it's querying the standard shell applications such as
uname or who.
Is there any "normal" way to run it with un-chrooting the Apache?
Any kind of help will be appreciated :)

Most applications can be chrooted by bringing the needed files inside of
the chroot, copying the directory structure outside the chroot,
but inside it. (as in /var/www/etc to get what appears to be /etc).
But it sounds like this may need to be run outside of the chroot and
then copy the results into directories inside the chroot to be read by
another script inside of the chroot.
(Or put the results into a database and read that instead of files)
A cron can be used to either run the main script directly, or to check
for a request by the script inside the chroot.
Of course, you could also just run un-chrooted Apache.
Good Luck,
