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

I read "man chroot" and previously installed sucessfully bind8 in a
chroot-jail.

I know that it is not ok to add the chroot-paths to the location of the
files and directory,
because the chroot /chroot/squid switches the root from /chroot/squid to /.

The thing is that if I configure squid to chroot /chroot/squid and give the
paths
without /chroot/squid, the files are not found. If I add the /chroot/squid/
path to
the tags, the parent-process is getting started but the squid-child dies
with the
"can´t find /chroot/squid/etc/squid/errors/ERR_READ_TIMEOUT".

Hi,

>/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
