Apache >= 2.2.10 has built in chroot support. See the ChrootDir directive in the Apache docs:

Description: Directory for apache to run chroot(8) after startup.
Syntax: ChrootDir /path/to/directory
Default: none
Context: server config
Status: MPM
Module: event, prefork, worker
Compatibility: Available in Apache 2.2.10 and later

This directive tells the server to chroot(8) to the specified directory after startup, but before accepting requests.

Note that running the server under chroot is not simple, and requires additional setup, particularly if you are running scripts such as CGI or PHP. Please make sure you are properly familiar with the operation of chroot before attempting to use this feature.
