suexec with chrooted environment

I'm trying to get a chrooted Apache environment working running mod_fcgid with suexec. Looking at suexec log inside jail, the wrapper scripts are being executed with no problems, however, when I look at Apache's error log I'm seeing the errors below; suexec failure: could not open log file fopen: Permission denied suexec.log; When I strace both php and suexec, they do not complain about any missing library or file. The log says "could not open log file" but it obviously logs into the error log file inside the jail. What's wrong with this setup? What may trigger this error? edit : strace results; [pid 9912] rt_sigaction(SIGCHLD, {SIG_DFL, [], SA_RESTORER|SA_INTERRUPT, 0x7fca687fe500}, {SIG_DFL, [], 0}, 8) = 0 [pid 9912]
