This guide explains how to set up mod_unixd with Apache 2.4 on a Debian Jessie system. With mod_unixd, you can run Apache in a secure chroot environment and make your server less vulnerable to break-in attempts that try to exploit vulnerabilities in Apache or your installed web applications. The module mod_unixd is a replacement for the mod_chroot module, that was used in the old apache 2.2.
