Question Standard setup folder structure

Server operating system version

4.18.0-553.157.1.lve.el7h.x86_64

Plesk version and microupdate number

Shared hosting, not disclosed

For some reactive fe / PHP be I've made some great projects in this structure:

/project
  /config (.env files and stuff)
  /data (sqlite databases if needed)
  /htdocs
    / (fe deployment html/compiled js/css...)
    /api (be deployment PHP)
  /uploads (project needed file uploads
  /logs (be log destination)
  /backup (backups, db dumps, uploads, config)

Template would work but hosting should now point to /project/htdocs as root, and not to /project.example.com. This can be done manually during of course. I just wonder if it is possible to create all projects in this way, and most importantly have php and apache write its log files to the /projects/logs folder instead of the default /logs/project.example.com folder.

If I'm no making sense or if this was already asked. I'd be happy to take some pointers.

This is theoretically possible if you have full administrator access to a server by modifying the default configuration. Since you indicated you are ons a shared hosting server I doubt your provider is willing to make those changes, since it would effect every (newly added) domain to the server. So it would effect other users/customers too.

I am not completely sure if it's possible to change the default log directory. That might not be possible at all.

If you need more detailed instructions on which configuration to change, let me know.

Thanks. and no surprises really. it would be an amazing extension. Keeping site data and logs together would already be a great boon.
