Re: [squid-users] squid chroot jail no running copy error

        I did try the chroot_directive today. Had trouble finding infomation on
sintax. Any way I tried to use it as I would the normal chroot command.
After startup squid was logging in old test directory not current prod dir.
        Is there some place I can get an example of how to set the chroot up
for squid. I have the squid binary and the config on a duplicate tree
where the chroot jail is.
