Multiple websites on same server

Question

When running multiple websites on same server:

root/website1
root/website2
root/website3

What should be done to make these websites run intependently - I mean to completely restrict access of PHP (or any other scripting language) to the root folder and each other's folders?

I am thinking of Apache Virtual Host, but will it restrict file access between each vhost as required?

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/root/website1/"
    ServerName Website1
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/root/website2/"
    ServerName Website2
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/root/website3/"
    ServerName Website3
</VirtualHost>

What do you mean by "run independently"? – Michael Hampton Jan 02 '19 at 18:18 — Michael Hampton, Jan 02 '19 at 18:18
To not have access to each other on the file system. – acoder Jan 02 '19 at 18:22 — acoder, Jan 02 '19 at 18:22

You can create one PHP-FPM pool per website, each one running under a different user and group.
