"unable to resolve host address" running wget as chroot user

[jerrac]

Server info: Plesk 11.5 on a Ubuntu 12.04 64bit server.

When I try to run a curl or wget command as my chooted user, it responds with an error saying it cannot resolve the host.

Ip addresses work.

I tried the steps mentioned in this post: http://talk.plesk.com/threads/scheduled-tasks-always-fail.331821/#post-775191

But it didn't help.

I also set the users shell to normal /bin/bash, and it worked. After setting it back to /bin/bash (chrooted) it stopped working.

This issue is preventing my user from setting up a needed cron job.

Any suggestions?

Hello Jerrac,
Those are the chrooted environment limitations!

This seems like something a LOT of people would need. I certainly found plenty of posts on the subject of resolving dns entries from a chroot environment when I did a Google search. So, I would there would be workaround.

To me, I'd think that adding the correct files to the chroot environment would do it. But when I followed the instructions for that in the post I linked, it didn't work. So, did I miss some files? Or what?
