apache chroot or FreeBSD jail ?

[Subhro]

Jail is definitely a better option but again Jail is still not 100%
documented...neither it is tested well. So you would be inviting some
incompatibilities and possibly troubles if you go for jails. chroot
environments are pretty safe and can be relied upon
