Re: Unable to read configuration file within a chroot apach2 setup

Hi

form.

Form setup:

 <form action="/cgi-bin/htsearch">
        Search:
          <input type=text name=words size=15>
          <input type=hidden name=method value=and>
          <input type=hidden name=config value=test2.website>
