Hello,

i'm still trying to find an easy way to install multiple websites with php5-fpm and putting every site inside a pool with a chroot-directory.
Atm it's working really nice, except the needed libs/files for things like mail(), mysql, exec(), ...

Is there a easy way to do that? I have many different websites and i need the same files for every pool, but how should i handle updates and co? I can't copy every needed file manually and i'm still searching for a complete file list needed for everything i could do with php.

Thanks

Hi -
What I do is copy the following files (which I figured out by running ldd a lot):

/bin/sh
(unfortunately sendmail needs this)

/dev/null
/dev/urandom

/etc/hosts
/etc/ld.so.cache
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/resolv.conf
(to be able to use DNS from inside PHP)

/lib/ld-linux.so.2
/lib/libnsl.so.1
/lib/libnss_compat.so.2
/lib/libnss_dns.so.2
/lib/libnss_files.so.2
/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6

Then I got mini_sendmail from here: http://acme.com/software/mini_sendmail/ which is an almost statically compiled sendmail alternative. It doesn't compile correctly under ubuntu, and I'd have to look up what the exact problem is, but if i remember correctly the problem was that a user was defined incorrectly and was pretty easy to fix - ask if you have problems.

You can then move the binary to /usr/sbin/sendmail and you should be done.

Finally, I also have the locale files copied for the languages I need to provide translations:

/usr/lib/locale/...

For updates, I periodically compare the files in one chroot to those in the absolute paths and check for new ones, which of course is far from optimal, but then again they seldom change.

Good luck!
