  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Resolved Bug in Plesk update. System files in webspace

Basic Pleskian
Hi,

I just installed a new Debian 8 with integrated Plesk Onyx 17.8.11.

Then I installed suggested pack of updates for the Plesk (17.8.11, update #14)

After this I discovered new system folders and files in a webspace of one of my sites!

/lib, /lib64, /bin /var and others.

See a screenshot.

Before I started the update, I had an second opened tab in Chrome where this webspace was opened for File Manager view.

What I should do now? Reinstall again VPS with Debian 8?

This is not a bug. The files are part of chrooted SSH access. When you enable chrooted SSH access via web hosting access icon, these directories are created. When you disable this access, the directories are removed.
 
Can you explain please?

I didn't enable intentionally chrooted SSH access.

This VPS has 4 webspaces for 4 sites. And only one webspace has strange system folders/files. I checked in SSH (Midnight Commander) - these files are visible only in a folder of one webspace.

How I can fix this issue?
 
I found how it happened.

When I add first scheduled task (cron) for a webspace, system folders appear in this webspace.

It didn't happen earlier with CentOS 6 + Plesk 12.5.
