Comments on Chrooting Apache 2.4 with mod_unixd on Debian 8 (Jessie)
This guide explains how to set up mod_unixd with Apache on a Debian 8 system. With mod_unixd, you can run Apache in a secure chroot environment (similar to the older mod_chroot) and make your server less vulnerable to break-in attempts that try to exploit vulnerabilities in Apache or your installed web applications.

The chroot is not designed for security in mind, is not a jail. Why people still write thing about chroot security in 2016, when there are lots of facilities about real security interfaces like containers these days.
A chroot still adds security and is not so easy to escape as non-root user, it does not hurt to use it. Containers are nice but they also have their very own problems and weaknesses.
How to run mod_unixd with php fastcgi with ispconfig? In this setup I got error mod_fcgid: can't apply process slot for /home/php-fcgi-scripts/web172/.php-fcgi-starter
Thanks
