Re: [squid-users] squid in chroot, child-process can ´t start because of ERR_READ_TIMEOUT

Hi,

I suggest you "man chroot". You hvae missed the point that the directory
to which you chroot() becomes "/" to your process. Thus if you reference
/chroot/squid/etc/squid/errors/ERR_READ_TIMEOUT, that file must exist as
/chroot/squid/chroot/squid/etc/squid/errors/ERR_READ_TIMEOUT. You need to
change the config file to reflect the fact that /chroot/squid is the new
root. Looking at the structure you show below, I suspect you really should
be doing "chroot /chroot" because once you "chroot /chroot/squid" none of
the files above that directory are visible, eg /chroot/etc cannot be seen
by the squid process.
