External App Chroot Mode⇑
Description
Enterprise Edition Only Specifies how the root directory is set for an external application process. In order to protect confidential system data files from being accessed by a vulnerable external application script, an alternative root path can be set for the external application process so that files beyond the new root directory become inaccessible. This is referred to as a "chroot jail".
Three choices are available:
- Same as Server: External application processes will be run in the same jail as the server.
- Virtual Host Root: Set chroot jail to the root directory of the virtual host. The external application script will only be able to access files inside the virtual host root.
- Customized Chroot Path: Specify the chroot path External App Chroot Path below.

Tips
If used properly, chroot will greatly enhance the security of external application scripts, but you must make sure the external application script is functional in the limited chroot jail environment.
