I've managed to get suPHP working fine with UserDir (i.e. PHP files run from the /home/$username/public_html) directory, but I can't get it to work when I chroot it to the user's home directory.

I've been following this guide:

And adapting it to my needs. I'm not creating vhosts, I just want PHP scripts to be jailed to the user's home directory.

I've gotten to the part where you use makejail and set up a symlink. However even with the symlink set up correctly, PHP scripts won't run. This is what's shown in the Apache error log:

SoftException in Application.cpp:537: Could not execute script "/home/jimmy/public_html/test.php"
[error] [client 127.0.0.1] Caused by SystemException in API_Linux.cpp:444: execve() for program "/usr/bin/php-cgi" failed: No such file or directory

The thing is, if I try running either of the following commands in the terminal it works without any issues:

/home/jimmy/usr/bin/php-cgi /home/jimmy/public_html/test.php

/usr/bin/php-cgi /home/jimmy/public_html/test.php

I've been trying for hours to get this going and documentation for this kind of stuff is almost non-existent. If anyone could help me out with this, I'd be extremely grateful.
