A single "." alone on a line. If you use the '-i' option as well,
then control-D alone on a line.

It means running apache in a chroot(8) jail so that even if someone
manages to break in through the webserver, they can't* affect the rest
of the box. Read the manual page for chroot(8); maybe there's
something out on the Web as well, but it's really a little more
complex for me to explain right now. That sort of thing might be best
pointed towards an Apache or sysadmin list.
