vhosts difference between 11.0.9 and 11.5.30

Azurel

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.
