[gentoo-user] mod_security: apr_thread_create error, apache chroot not starting...

[Jarry]

Hi,

I'm trying to configure my apache to run in chroot using
mod_secure, following info on gentoo-wiki:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Apache_chroot:_the_mod_security_way

After modifying my apache config and creating chroot
I tried to restart apache, but it is not running:
====================================================
obelix ~ # /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
  * Caching service dependencies ...      [ ok ]
  * Stopping apache2 ...                  [ ok ]
  * Starting apache2 ...                  [ ok ]
obelix ~ # ps -e | grep apache
====================================================

Then I found following erros in /var/log/apache2/error_log:

What does it mean, and how can I fix it? I doublechecked
my configuration, I did it exactly as advised on
gentoo-wiki, and despite of that it is not working... :-(
