Question chroot and other 'system' dirs in /var/www/vhosts/...

Kurt Ludikovsky

Basic Pleskian
I found in my
/var/www/vhosts/​
directory as well as in domain-directories, some subdirectories which I would relate to the system. I can't see any rule how they are located at a certain location or not.

Those are
/chroot - with subdir's /bin, /lib,m etc.
/fs
/bin
/lib, / lib64
/usr
/var​

So I am curious where they come from and if they are needed.

Any hints or documentation welcome.
 
Directories bin, dev, lib, lib64, tmp, usr, var are used for chroot shell.
 
Because in Web Hosting Access of your domain you have "Access to the server over SSH" option as "/bin/bash (chrooted)"
