DoIT Web Hosting has a process, that copies a read-only version of a customers website(s) Apache virtual host configuration into their /private folder (same level as httpdocs)
This is refreshed in the customer's file system every 45 minutes into their /private folder (same level as httpdocs)

These files can be viewed in the Plesk file manager and/or with Secure FTP download of the file: Web Hosting - Customer how to for download and upload of sites files and/or databases
-
This can be helpful because Plesk does not have the Apache configuration available to customers but does allow a view of the PHP configuration, and other settings.
- This brings to light what has been requested and assists in making changes to the configuration implemented in the vhost.conf. e.g. NetID/Shibboleth configurations, IP restrictions, etc.
