  • 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.

vhosts difference between 11.0.9 and 11.5.30

Silver Pleskian
Hello,

In 11.0.9 my vhosts have this default folders

var/www/vhosts/domainA.com/
anon_ftp
bin
cgi-bin
conf
dev
error_docs
etc
httpdocs
lib
lib64
logs
private
statistics
subdomains
tmp
usr
var
web_users


Now I have create a new domain in 11.5.30#16

var/www/vhosts/domainB.com/
error_docs
httpdocs
logs

Is here a bug or why is this heavy difference in folders count?
 
Hello Azurel,

No, it's NOT a bug!! In Plesk 11.5.* most of those old folders were moved to

Code:
/var/www/vhosts/system/domain.com/
 
If this is not a bug, where are this folders?:
anon_ftp
bin
cgi-bin
dev
lib
lib64
private
subdomains
tmp
usr
var
web_users
Can I remove this folders in old domains?


the system folder have only (per domain).
/var/www/vhosts/system/domain.com/
conf
etc
logs
pd
statistics

Why are the aliases/links after update not exists in "vhosts/domain"?
 
I found out that after set:
Domain -> "Web Hosting Access" -> "Access to the server over SSH" and set it to: "/bin/bash (chrooted)".
For login with:
/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/.ssh/authorized_keys

Plesk create this folders:
bin
dev
lib
lib64
tmp
usr
var

Still missing are this folders:
anon_ftp
cgi-bin
private
subdomains
web_users

"anon_ftp" have empty folders "config", "incoming" and "pub"
"cgi-bin" have a "test" folder with file "test.cgi".
"private" is empty
"subdomains" is empty
"web_users" is empty

Can I delete this 5 folders in all domains?

Are the missing aliases for "config" and "statistics" a bug?
 
In your first post first example differed from the second one with 3 things:

1) chrooted shell access enabled (maybe at some point in the past);
2) anonymous ftp access was probably enabled;
3) Plesk < 11.5.

Please read documentation about vhosts structure. It may not be up-to-date but it's good enough.

FYI: this is not a place where support team dwells. You should create a ticket if you want to talk to them. This is a community discussion and helping site. No more, no less.

Remove whatever you want in Plesk 11.5 vhosts. Just don't touch anything that lies system/.

Are the missing aliases for "config" and "statistics" a bug?

Is it? User may remove whatever he or she wants, including stupid symlinks that lead to something unreadable. Also I don't see the point in these symlinks on clean installation or new vhosts.
